Jerry Voorhis

Jerry Voorhis (b 1901) was a Socialist politician from California. Under the Smith Administration, he served as ambassador to the Confederate States. In 1941, it fell to Voorhis to tell Confederate President Jake Featherston that President Smith had refused Featherston's ultimata demanding a complete US withdrawal from former Confederate territory ceded to the US after the Great War. Featherston declared Voorhis persona non grata, and the next day, the Second Great War began.
