Many historians attribute some of the Confederacy's weaknesses to the poor leadership of Davis.[4] His preoccupation with detail, reluctance to delegate responsibility, lack of popular appeal, feuds with powerful state governors and generals, favoritism toward old friends, inability to get along with people who disagreed with him, neglect of civil matters in favor of military ones, and resistance to public opinion all worked against him.[5][6] Historians agree he was a much less effective war leader than his Union counterpart, President Abraham Lincoln. After Davis was captured in 1865, he was accused of treason and imprisoned at Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia.

First, why the hell did they ever build a statue for this guy in the first place.

Second, no wonder Trump loves these losers.

The former co-worker of George Floyd and Derek Chauvin who said the two “bumped heads” while working part-time security at a nightclub years several before their fatal encounter has recanted his story.

David Pinney, a former employee at El Nuevo Rodeo in south Minneapolis, told CBS in an interview that aired in part Tuesday that the pair had crossed paths, and claimed that they knew each other “pretty well” while working at the club, where he accused Chauvin of “being extremely aggressive” with some clubgoers.

Pinney took back his account Wednesday in an email to CBS News, saying he had confused Floyd with another former worker at the club.
