During the Civil War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his family lived in a Richmond, Virginia mansion. Now referred to as "the White House of the Confederacy," the residence was saved from demolition in 1896 and since 1988 has been restored to it's wartime appearance. C-SPAN's American History TV toured the residence.
