what did davis tell him? davis says the necessity must justify the action. the military necessity. he let polk make the final decision, and polk said he wasn't going to leave. this didn't change after these early months. in 1862 he suggested to general albert sydney johnston that johnston might isolate one element of the enemy and inflict a mighty blow. it was a suggestion and not a directive. again, in the winter of 1862-63 he urged general theeophilus holmes chanding in arkansas to make a connection with general joseph johnston in mississippi and to assist johnston. he tempered his language to general holmes by telling him he must use his own judgment. additional examples could be brought forth, but i hope i made my point. it's difficult to explain the contrast between davis's handling of his field commanders and his management of the war department. it was certainly not because he didn't comprehend the change

george davis then turns his gun on michael carroll. >> george davis was in front of me. he raised the gun up and looked at me with almost like black, piercing eyes, seemed to look right through me. i started to turn around and was kind of hunched over and he shot me. the bullet had gone into right above my belly button. >> luckily, somebody pulls carroll back inside the bar before davis can shoot him again. but carroll's girlfriend at the time is still outside, and davis shoots her in the hip. soon after, he goes back to his car and drives off. davis drives through the montana night. the next morning, deputy bernie alstad pulls him over for speeding, but before the deputy can get out of the car, davis attacks, shooting up his vehicle. alstad is wounded and davis is also hit, but he gets away. that's when deputy conway gets the call that an officer is down, and he's nearly run off the road. montana trooper jason hildenstab joins conway in the chase. he's working an extra shift and just clocked in, so he's low on gas. >> that was going to be my first order of business, to

davis fired johnston because johnston wouldn't tell davis what johnston was going to do. even so, in my judgment, this instance was the exception that proves the rule. a much more common situation prevailed after the failed confederate advance into kentucky in 1862. davis had high hopes for this confederate offensive into his home native state. but as you all know, it failed. and confederate failure in kentucky came from several directions. at the same time the inability of confederate commanders to cooperate was certainly a central reason for that disaster. i said davis was terribly supportive and in the confederate withdrawal into tennessee he called these three men to come to washington, to come to richmond. braxton bragg, polk, who was bragg's senior subordinate and edmond kirby smith. who commanded another confederate army in kentucky. he called them all to richmond. and what did they say in richmond? each man defended himself, deflected responsibility, and blamed the other two. after hearing these recriminatio recriminations, davis incredibly left all three in place

, davis wrote about smith. he has taken every permission without the least tendency to question his advantage to himself without complaint when his prospects for disparticulars were remove and danger and hardships were to be met. davis said you must be like this. you must all be like this. when change, when change, when overhaul -- fundamental overhaul was desperately needed, davis stood still. i could discuss other examples of this type of response or non-response for the possibility of confederate success they happen far too frequently. in the incidents i described as well as others for all the right reasons, a ruthless and pragmatic commander in chief would have instituted dramatic changes including dismissals and transfers. in the army of tennessee, the cancer that davis did not even attempt to excise in the post-kentucky weeks was left to grow even more virulent. in conclusion, the general assessment of davis was commander of chief as a war leader. considering the political dimensions broadly construed of

cooper's presentation is entitled jefferson davis as war leader.rofessor cooper has been the professor at louisiana state university for over four decades. no one has more penetratingly examined the life of jefferson davis or his role as president and commander in chief of the confederate states of america. his 2001 book "jefferson davis: american" has been called one of the most enigmatic figures in our nation's history. professor cooper's balanced yet corrective interpretation recognizes davis' intimate engagement in the military and diplomatic decisions of the confederacy as well as capturing the irony of a chief executive who interpreted the constitution as strictly limiting federal authority but was forced by the war to create a powerful centralized confederate government. professor cooper's 2008 masterpiece "jefferson davis in the civil war era" solidified further his reputation as the foremost scholar of the confederate president. please warmly welcome to the virginia military institute and to our sesquicentennial conference in turn professo

unless a convicted cop killer troy davis is set to be executed davis was sentenced to death for the nine hundred eighty nine murder of savannah georgia police officer mark macphail one juror who convicted davis questions her decision he's also insisted he's innocent and there are a lot of disturbing new questions that have been raised in regards to his case. it was a rare case where a national conversation was actually being had about capital punishment and even the mainstream media had no trouble shedding light on the case or a man whose guilt could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt he was then put it that there was no physical evidence linking him to the scene just eyewitness accounts seven of which were recanted well before his execution date it's a horrible example of how our justice system operates and now sadly a part of our very tainted history of executions in this country now i'm glad they paid attention to troy davis' case it deserved every minute of attention that it got right up until the night that davis was put to death but it also made people ask if this could lead t

when davis -- davis is sitting as a senator representing the state of mississippi in the u.s. senate in washington city when all of this is happening, when the secession crisis is taking place, there that winter of '60-'61. when those deep south states start to secede, he is one of the leading senators stands up to deliver the departure speech, this good-bye farewell address of the south, okay? one of his classic lines from this is that the south has a high and solemn motive to defend and protect the rights which we inherited which is it is our sacred duty to transmit unshorn to our children. if you look at davis's inaugural address he cites the revolution, he cites the legacy of the founding fathers. in his inaugural address, not even once does he mention the word slavery, okay? his vice president, guy by the name of alexander stevens flat out says, we need to leave to protect slavery. period. end of story. in some of davis's writings he says you cannot have the federal government infringing on these rights. this is it, end of story, we need to talk about it. you need to get

davis: the longer i listen to this debate, the more confusing it becomes. i remember a wise man telling me once that you can't get blood out of a turnip but you can slice it and dice and whip it and do everything, but it still ends up being turnip juice. i rise in strong support, strong support of mr. grimm's amendment. and i do so because there seems to be a tremendous lack of clarity. it's amazing how we can all read the same words, but arrive at a different meaning. and we can read them over and over and over again. but it would seem to me that the best way to have clarity is to make absolutely certain that these agencies understand that yes, they do, in fact, have the authority to say yes or no to enter project labor agreements. i'm a strong supporter of organized labor. doesn't mean that i think labor unions are perfect. oftentimes many of the people in the community where i live feel that they cannot access labor unions, that they can't get in, that they can't get membership. yet, i think that project labor agreements are the best way to get the quali
