the marriage between jefferson davis and marina davis. i want to tell you about jefferson davis's first marriage. he was married to, does anyone know? you get a gold star if you do. yes? close, not polk. it was the president's daughter. a later president's daughter. thank you. excellent. i wish i could throw candy. good job. it was zachary taylor's daughter. she was sera knocks taylor. she was pretty and feisty. they exchange wonderful love letters, only a few survived. she and jefferson davis -- he opposed the marriage. the father did not come to the marriage. they would become good friends later. at this point, it was not working out. it was because he did not want to have his daughter have a military life. it was a very hard life. jefferson davis married her. they were married for three months. she died in his arms of malaria. very sad. he also had malaria and a most died. he became a hermit. in my research, i think this is one of the things that devastated him more than anything else up to this point. he would have later tragedies, ma

davis biographers -- i think this is william t davis. he said, jefferson davis would rather have died then dressed up as a woman and flat as a woman. that i can guarantee from 20 years of research. ina, whopset with var flung herself between her husband and the confederate troops to save his life. he was like, why did you do that? so embarrassing. he did not appreciate varina in so many ways, and that further fed this myth that his wife or the pants in the family and was in control. that was not good for the marriage, and was definitely not good for publicity. the reason i bring this up winnie, a big part of her images about reinforcing that her father was feral, masculine, was not in petticoats. is topart of her job prove that davis is not a coward. he is a man. he is feral. these rumors are false. -- he is virile. justw you these rumors not to talk about jefferson davis but to talk about how winnie relates to this. so we will go back to children in the davis family. i read you a little bit about them in the excerpt from my book. at thi

johnston convinced himself that davis was trying to destroy his military reputation davis had convinced himself that dajohnst was not competent but he had no choice because there was no one else he could appoint to that post. all the other high ranking generals were either failures or unable to exercise command in the field or in the case of robert e. lee, couldn't be moved from we was. davis had no choice. much against his wishes, in december 1863. he picked joe johnston from obscuri obscurity. he was command of the bayous of mississippi, he had no choice, johnston was in command. the union army that was opposing johnston was based in chattanooga, and when sherman moved into north georgia in 1864, he confronted johnston in his fortifications. and the campaign began and followed a pattern johnston's idea of a perfect battle was to take up a strong position, fortify it, and sit in it. hoping that sherman would attack it, in that case, johnston's fortified men would be able to repulse the attack and win the victory sherman however had made up his mind based on earlier experience, that att

and davis did reply.o the question was, if you didn't hear it, was there any thought of putting lee in charge of any confederate armies, that did happen, although it was some months after the atlanta campaign, but davis relied very heavily on lee's advice, not only on matters pertaining to the eastern theater, but also on command members in the west, when davis was considering removing joe johnson from command, he asked lee, who do you think would be a good replacement? lee said that hood was a bold fighter on the battlefield, but this is paraphrasing, i should know this verbatim, hood said something -- hood is a bold fighter, bold on the battlefield but careless off the battlefield, and i think what he was saying there was that when it comes to administrative responsibilities that hood had some weaknesses. >> two questions. >> let's do one, so other folks have a chance. >> how did sherman come up with the idea for the -- sherman's knots? >> the question is, how did sherman -- come up with the idea for sh

by this point jefferson davis has had enough of joe johnson jefferson davis has lost faith in joe johnson'sbility to hold the city of atlanta. johnson had repeatedly told the davis administration and politicians who visited his headquarters that the best way to force the federals out of north georgiahq pq western and atlantic railroad. strike their supply line and end up in tennessee. johnson claimed that his army excuse me, his calvary, joe wheeler's corps couldn't do this. johnson con the afford to detach his own calvary from his army because he needed wheeler's horsemen to defend the flanks of the army as it fell back. johns didn't have enough men to stretch the line long enough. what johnson proposed over and over and over was for the davis administration to order the confederate calvary in alabama and mississippi forrest command to ride east to break sherman's supply line. this would involve stripping the states of alabama and mississippi of all of their defenders. and that was something that davis, i think wisely, refused to do. as richard mcmurray and others have pointed out, alabama

point, jefferson davis has had enough of joe johnson.jefferson davis has lost faith in joe johnson's ability to hold the city of atlanta. johnson repeatedly told the davis administration and politicians who visited his headquarters that the best way -- to sport the federals's out of georgia was to supply line. but johnson claimed that his cavalry could not do this. he needed reinforcements to defend the flanks of the army as it fell back. johnson didn't have a line long to defend the men. so what he asked over and over was for the davis administration to send the horse command east to break sherman's supply line. this would involve stripping the states of alabama and mississippi of all of their , and that was something davis -- i think wisely -- refused to do. richard mcmurray and others have pointed out that alabama and mississippi were ready important states. stripping the states of their defenders would have opened up the rich agricultural region of the river about a. it would've opened up important industrial cities like selma. it wo

so the davis administration is unsure who to believe. although davis is more inclined to believe the core commanders, i think, than johnson. during the campaign then, up until the time of his removal, one of joe johnson's chief weaknesses is his continual failure, day after day, week after week, to provide davis and his administration with detailed regular reports of what's going on. if you look in the correspondence section of the official records and compare lee's correspondence with davis during the overland campaign with what joe johnson was sending, there's a stark contrast. johns johnson's wife in late may 1864, suggested to her husband that it might be a good idea for him to keep the government better informed of what his plans are. and johnson says, replied to her that, her suggestion was a judicious one but that, quote, the people in richmond take no interest in any partial affairs that may occur in this quarter. suggesting obviously that what jefferson davis is really concerned about are events in virginia. johnson's strategy,
