PRESIDENT DAVIS GIVES INAUGURAL ADDRESS FEBRUARY EIGHTEENTH 1861
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

After allowing himself a few days to make their journey to Mont-
gomery in Alabama, President Jefferson Davis finally arrives for
his inauguration on February 18th of 1861. He is later sworn in
and soon steps forward to address the nation.

In his only inaugural address before the citizens of the country
and a host of local citizens, he focuses their attention on this
national struggle. He soundly assures them of their independence
and their right to self determination.

He points out the American idea that government rest on the con-
sent of the governed. He holds their southern position to be a
sacred one. They cannot long prevent the progress of the move-
ment sanctified by its justice or leave little doubt as to their
dedication.
