Biden compared anyone who disagreed with him to Jefferson Davis

If you heard Joe Biden speak on voting rights yesterday, you also heard him compare anyone that disagreed with him to Jefferson Davis.
So, who was Jefferson Davis?
•Davis was a Democrat, elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1845 for Mississippi.
•In 1851, Davis returned to the Senate.
•In the 1860 presidential election, Davis opposed the candidate of Northern Democrats Stephen A. Douglas, a champion of popular sovereignty, and joined Southern Democrats in supporting John C. Breckinridge, who demanded federal government protection for slave holdings.
•Mississippi seceded from the Union on January 10th, 1861. 12 days later, after resigning from the Senate, Davis was appointed Major General for the army of Mississippi.
•Davis was chosen as the Provisional President of the Confederacy during the Confederate Convention in Alabama.
•Davis was convinced he was fighting for States rights. He thought States should have the right to make human beings slaves.
•After the war, Davis lost his citizenship. He wanted to continue fighting a guerilla style campaign against the North.
•In 1978, Joe Biden was one of the yes votes that gave Jefferson Davis back his citizenship posthumously. Jimmy Carter signed that bill.
Joe Biden is closer to Jefferson Davis than the vast majority of Americans. Never before has an American President called any American who didn't like his federal takeover of elections, called 'The Voting Rights Act', both racist and domestic terrorists.
