Jefferson Davis Takes Philadelphia

The North won the Civil War but it took a Jefferson Davis to reunite the nation. It's 1876 the last days of postwar Reconstruction in the South when a nineteen-year-old artistic prodigy from Georgia with a troublesome name heads to Yankee Philadelphia and the country's first World's Fair since the Civil War. A call for artists to participate in the Fair's art exhibit the largest in the nation sends Thomas J. on his way. A hilarious coming-of-age story follows with a cast of illustrious characters and more than a few mishaps and amusing encounters. Ultimately Jefferson Davis takes Philadelphia in this madcap fictional romp where anything can happen - and very nearly does - in this historical farce.
