This is amazing, and to be honest I knew that Jefferson Davis owned as many as 200 slaves or something..., but I never knew he himself was "married" to a colored(Mulatto) very light skinned Black woman(photo below) making her the First Lady of the Confederacy(hahahaha). I mean his wife's color was the very thing the confederacy stood against. lol, and she was obviously smart, she could envision that the south was going to lose.
And strange thing White men did not marry Black or even Mulatto women in that time being, except impregnating them.
LOL, Had Kris known that Jefferson Davis was married to a Black woman he would have hanged him back in 1845 and then jump off the cliff right after.
My hats off to you Mr Les on this incredible discovery.
PS: I'm gonna have to read some more about Varina Howell. Thanks!!
