Yessiree, Gnu, that Great American, Jeff Davis, a real hero of the South.

The rich slaveowner who said , among many similar utterances, before, during and after the Civil War:

"African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing."

"We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude...You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be."

And who firmly believed- as his Vice President Alexander Stephens stated, that the country he sought to erect was founded "upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race-- is his natural and normal condition."

A man who was responsible for the slavery & subjugation of 4 millions of Blacks and the deaths of 600,000 combatants and 50,000 civilians.

Yet as Jeff Antley of the Sons of Confederate Veterans recently (Jan 2011) told the New York Times., regarding the "Secession Ball" held in Charleston, SC : " "Many people in the South still believe that is a just and honorable cause. Do I believe they were right in what they did? Absolutely. There's no shame or regret over the action those men took."

Hitler the mass murderer and white supremecist is universally reviled; Jeff Davis gets statures, accolades, and birthday celebrations and balls in his honor.

Only in America.
