A BIGGER stain on the nation is the fact that the image of Jefferson Davis on Stone Mountain, Georgia is bigger than any of the presidential images on Mount Rushmore.[]I say this because Jefferson Davis wanted to continue the Civil War as a guerrilla conflict, even after the surrender at Appomattox. He might have pulled it off had not the plan been opposed by Robert E. Lee. ( Source, ‘April, 1865 — The Month That Saved America’, by Jay Winik ) []Jeff Davis was NO hero, period.
