Jefferson Davis, Jr.-- Part 2

After the war, young Jefferson Davis, Jr., attended schools in Canada, England and Maryland as the family moved from place to place.  He was enrolled at Virginia Military Institute, but his father had him withdrawn in 1875, apparently fearing that he was about to be expelled.

Accounts from the time showed that he was charming but didn't have much motivation.  Even so, his parents continually tried to help him..
