It is well documented that Lincoln rebuffed every Davis-Confederate effort at peace.

You cannot rationalize your misrepresentation with another one just like it.

Lying is not cleverness.

Well, to be fair, should you have expected anything different? After all, I'm pretty sure that anything that Davis was willing to put on the table did not meet the basic requirement that Lincoln would have been bargaining for ... Union.

PeaRidge: “It is well documented that Lincoln rebuffed every Davis-Confederate effort at peace.”

It is well documented that Jefferson Davis sent no emissaries to Congress to negotiate matters which the US Constitution assigns to Congress’s responsibility.
Nor did he make any other serious efforts at peace before launching his assault on Fort Sumter and formally declaring war on the United States, May 6, 1861.
