About this episode:  She was witty, intelligent and a great conversationalist: everything that raised the eyebrows of proper Southern women in the mid-19th century. And then, she married the man who became the first and only President of the Confederacy. Wedded to her fate with him and a doomed nation, her life was filled with trying times. She was, if you will, locked in a personal civil war as she struggled to reconcile her societal duties with strong individual beliefs. This is the story of a remarkably resilient woman who served as the Confederacy's First Lady. This is the story of Varina Howell Davis.           ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Jefferson Davis Sarah Childress Polk Washington Irving Jane Appleton Pierce Elizabeth Keckley Alexander H.
