This is the second episode over the Civil War in the American Southwest.
This episode covers the biography and views of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. I also discuss Southern Democrat Warhawks and their desire to expand American Manifest Destiny throughout the Northwestern Hemisphere. It also goes into deep detail over the ties between the Southern United States and the Napoleonic Emperors of France. I also discuss at length how the Southern Jeffersonian Democrats wanted to rid themselves of the menace of England’s constant meddling. Also mentioned are the American filibusters in Nicaragua and the Yucatan, the US Camel Corp, and Jefferson Davis’ hope of a second American Revolution.
This is the second of three introductory episodes before the Civil War actually begins.
