Jefferson Davis’s life and legacy

Just a quick post to express my gratitude to Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis’s home and presidential library, for existing and for keeping his legacy alive.

It is indeed important to learn about Davis’s life and legacy, and I’m thankful that this historical site teaches visitors about this, rather than mindlessly condemning him and centering the perspectives of the majority, as most museums and historical sites have done due to the ideology of conformism and political correctness. People who are different from the norm, and who stand up to authority, deserve to have their legacies kept alive as well. Davis is an excellent example of one such person. I value his legacy and am glad that Beauvoir does as well.
