Georgia Civil War Commission: The Jefferson Davis Society |
 | | Whether the shrine is a cemetery, a tomb, a museum, a statue, a monument, a library, or an object in whatever form and whether it is located in the united states or elsewhere, it is the purpose of the society to preserve and protect it with all the resources that it has. |
 | | Jefferson Davis attended the inauguration of General Pierce in March 1853 and was persuaded by public opinion to accept the office of Secretary of War. |
 | | May we never forget that Jefferson Davis, even though a leader of "a cause that lost", as President of the Confederate States of America was indeed the commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy, and several state militias of a government whose history proved to have fought one of the mightiest wars of modern time. |
