Jefferson Davis You're right Barrett. I intended for slaves to be freed eventually anyway, and Robert E. Lee felt the same way. My overseer was Benjamin Montgomery, a slave of mine who I allowed to run the plantation along with my brother Joseph while I was in Washington, D.C. or away for the war.

Jefferson Davis As I recall reading in Jefferson Davis:American, he owned over 100 in 1860, and had a very successful plantation in MS. I know he is from Kentucky, but MS is much more important to his political career. His overseer was a slave and Davis did treat his slaves very well. Trust me, I know all about Davis. Search for Jeffe...rson Davis' slaves and you'll find many websites.
