On this day in history in 1978, President Jimmy Carter restored the full citizenship rights of Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy, effectively resolving a century-long debate. Davis is remembered alongside General Robert E. Lee, who had his citizenship

We don’t need new law to build America’s AI bench. We need courage, MOUs, and a 90-day clock.

@RepMikeCollins It was a Northern Senator who got the ball rolling! https://t.co/zvQlhYH6sT
The Kansas City Times Reported on 1/26/1977 that a Senator introduced legislation to restore my citizenship. Notice the senator is from Oregon! He said it would "correct a grave injustice inflicted" by a "vindictive conqueror." #history #ushistory #Americanhistory

@RepMikeCollins @Roycecase4Boo Davis didn’t betray the USA. His state voted to secede from the USA and join a new confederacy of American states. The new American confederacy tried to forge a peace agreement with the USA. They never planned to overthrow the federal government but to be a trade partner with it.

@RepMikeCollins A man who sought to uphold the principles of the constitution the best way he could. A great Southerner and a great American.

@RepMikeCollins Today's republican party. Yes, let's remember the racists who wanted to keep slavery and, at the same time, erase slavery from history.

@RepMikeCollins Andrew Johnson was a shitty President, just fyi. Praising Jeffie Davis is not cool, Sir. Jeffie Davis was a traitor to our great nation.

@RepMikeCollins Then, the federal government, headed by a vegetable, allowed a bunch of woke, 60 IQ halfwits that can't define a woman and who took 30 boosters, to maraud around the country tearing down statues and erasing history. 'murica.

@RepMikeCollins The reason we are where we are today is that we didn't hang every leader of the Confederacy immediately after the Civil War.

@RepMikeCollins The thing I like best about Davis is that he never repented for his wartime actions

@RepMikeCollins Not only did he restore the citizenship to Davis, but Gen. Lee as well. The only good thing Carter ever did!

@RepMikeCollins Jefferson Davis was a traitor who should have been treated as such after the Civil War.

@RepMikeCollins Carter signed this congressional action for Davis, as Ford did for a similar one for Robert E. Lee, and previous presidents had done for others, but it was not presidential signatures or approval which restored citizenships. The congressional actions took effect when passed.

@RepMikeCollins Jefferson Davis understood that secession was 100% legal.

@RepMikeCollins Remember always, the democrats will pardon without repentance every killer and human trafficker who enables their power and parasitic riches. To hell with Jefferson Davis.

@RepMikeCollins No Democrat would dare do that today. I’m actually surprised that they haven’t tried to revoke his citizenship rights

@RepMikeCollins The left wing has been redistricting house districts along racial lines to actively steal as much voting power from White people as possible from decades. There is no reconciliation
