Such men make mistakes, and the Confederate President was not exempt. The insight of his general character reveals him a conservative patriot, opposing all tendencies to anarchy or monarchy, faithful to constitutional agreements and supporter of popular liberties;

I did find this on Davis.

Sounds alot like Lincoln

I'll bet he was kind to his dog, too. Faithfulness to the constitution apparently did not extend to a supreme court or, if tales be true, protection of slavery and supporter of popular liberties apparently did not include those with Unionist tendencies. Quite a guy. Toss in his socialist leanings and it's probably a good thing for the confederacy that they were defeated.

Fred Lincoln? Jack Lincoln? or some other Lincoln that I've never heard of, I assume?
