Jefferson Davis was much more enlightened. He thought any black man was perfectly suited to carry his chamber pot or perform any other duty his "owner" thought fit.

Davis was another one who thought all free blacks should be forcibly deported, though he leaned more towards Mexico and Central America. I guess because they could walk there and their former owners wouldn't have to foot the bill.

A free black man was worse than useless to Jeff Davis and his gang. That's why he got so excited about the prospect of enslaving free blacks in the course of the war.
