What is ironic about Jefferson Davis's concept of Confederate government?
It was a revolutionary body, representing extreme conservative people.
What was ironic about Hiram Revels filling Jefferson Davis' senate seat after the civil war?
Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederate States of America in the Civil War, therefore it's safe to assume that he was in favor of allowing African Americans to be owned as slaves and granted very few rights. The fact that his vacated senate seat was eventually filled by the first African American senator is ironic in that the ability to participate in the government and politics was precisely the kind of power that the racist southern whites had fought so hard to keep out of the hands of the African Americans.

John F. Kennedy, which is ironic because the mob helped him barely win Illinois by illegal means
How did Thomas Jefferson's view of the national debt differ from that of Alexander Hamilton?
Their views were very different. After consolidating all the US foreign debt, the national debt and the state's debts (largely war costs), Hamilton saw the loans from Europe at 4 % instead of 6% as a breather for a few years while to give a chance for our economy to develop. He had set up a 'sinking fund' which was responsible for paying it off.Jefferson abhorred a national debt and it was a very high priority to pay it off ASAP. Very noble but then we had no money available to keep our security strong at home and Britain was tempted to take advantage and thus led us to the War of 1812-14. Jefferson did not understand finances.Jefferson also detested banks, the stock market, and manufacturing. He did not understand the value of their contribution. He denigrated Hamilton and his economic system. His first objective when he became president was to have his Secretary of Treasury, the esteemed Swiss Albert Gallatin, review all Hamilton's systems and root them out of being! After the review was done, Jefferson was told that the system was perfect and if you removed one part it would all fail. Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe all benefited from Hamilton's economic system throughout their 24 years of Presidencies.The ironic thing is that Jefferson was only able to purchase the Louisiana Territory because of Hamilton's financial credit success. Most of it was obtained through European lenders.Jefferson wanted to pay off the debt; Hamilton did not

What was ironic about President Jefferson's official statement condemning slavery in the US?
President Jefferson did not free his slaves and owned a good number of them when he issued his statement condemning slavery. Unfortunately Jefferson's increasing financial problems and the hardening of his Virginia neighbors against manumission of slaves, forced him to keep his slaves. This in no way detracts his official presidential position on slavery.
