Jefferson Davis: 'We recognize the fact of the inferiority stamped upon that [Black] race of men by the Creator, and from the cradle to the grave, our Government, as a civil institution, marks that inferiority' –An excerpt from then U.S. Senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi in the Senate to his abolitionist colleague Senator William H. Seward of New York, Senate Chamber, U.S. Capitol, 29 February 1860, as quoted in The Papers of Jefferson Davis, Volume 6, pp. 277–84. Transcribed from the Congressional Globe, 36th Congress, 1st Session, pp. 916–18.

This is a monument to Jefferson Davis, funded by the Daughters of the Confederacy and even the Kentucky General Assembly[!?!] during the Jim Crow era. It is now a state museum. It is here because Fairview, Kentucky is the birthplace of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. During the Civil War, Davis could not travel to Kentucky because Kentucky remained and fought for the United States. It should be noted that despite Kentucky being a slave state, the overwhelming majority of Kentuckians joined up, fought for, and even sacrificed their lives for the United States, not the Confederacy.

I find it interesting that the road sign marks Fairview as the birthplace of United States Joint Chief of Staff General J.W. Ralston, NOT the big huge monument in the background to its other native, Confederate Jefferson Davis.
