I've been there a few times. The statue of him in repose looks like he's just lying there, sleeping. Kind of like a Norman knight lying atop his tomb. The hushed hallowed tone of the place is reminiscent of a chapel dedicated to a Catholic saint. It's a little weird, really. Won't argue he was on the losing side, but much ink has been spent on which side had the moral upper hand. Keep in mind the Emancipation Proclamation didn't free all the slaves, as modernist historians teach us, but it freed only slaves in Southern states. The slaves in 5 Northern territories remained slaves. Also, the Vatican recognized the CSA as a sovereign nation. In his correspondence with Jefferson Davis, Pope Pius IX addressed him as, "His Excellency Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America." catholicism.org
