As I am from South Carolina, I just thought about something Jefferson Davis would have thought about:
"Them slaves taking credit for everything."

Alright listen up buttercup. Basically, the joke implies that Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, would have believed that slaves were taking credit for things they didn't do. It plays on the racist idea that enslaved people were lazy and incompetent.
