Want this question answered?
I am doing a project on Jefferson Davis in social studies and my teacher was talking about this question. Jefferson Davis felt that John Brown's activities were wrong and his behavior was wrong. John Brown was basically killing slaves and Jefferson Davis did not like this. Jefferson Davis was a loyal man and respected his slaves. He was a kind slaveowner from the south. When John Brown was killing the slaves in "Bleeding Kansas", Jefferson Davis did not like it because they were killing innocent slaves who Jefferson Davis respected and considered slaves as people
Jefferson Davis was born on June 3, 1808
no necessarily racist, but he was a hypocrite. he preached how slavery should be abolished, even though he owned slaves.
To be theoretically correct there were 187 slaves owned by Thomas Jefferson. One of these lady slaves, Sally Hemmings, had a total of 7 kids, only 4 surviving for any significant period of time. Sally's "relationship" with Jefferson cannot be thought of as consensual and reciprocal as she was, in fact, Jefferson's property and any refusal of his advances could have been punished with death.
If they werent doing their work correctly, he would whip them with a lash.

Jefferson Davis was from the part of Christian County, Kentucky that now forms Todd County, Kentucky. When the State of Mississippi seceded from the Union in January 1861, Jefferson Davis was a U.S. Senator who represented that state.

Jefferson Davis did support slavery but also thought it should end eventually and the slaves should be freed. He did feel that they should be educated and then freed.
When Confederate Jefferson Davis realized that slaves could be useful in protecting Richmond, he asked Virginia to draft 4,500 slaves to complete the entrenchments protecting Richmond. The number of 4,500 made this forced work project one of the largest ones of the war.
