Hmmmm, if Davis ALLOWED more slaves to be imported, you'd simply claim he was an evil slaver. Yet he attempts to prevent the slavery of more individuals, yet you condemn his action. incoln supported PERMANENT slavery, and limiting it, then to you it was good, but Davis LIMITING slavery bad.
Personally, I think it was the action of a President that chose to abide by the Constitution.
Lincoln supported the limiting the growth of slavery (including not allowing importation of slavery. The only slave trader ever hung was hung by Lincoln)
Davis supported both the keeping and the expansion of slavery.
Your attempts at double-talk are clearly representive of what the Southern defenders are forced to resort to.
Personally, I think it was the action of a President that chose to abide by the Constitution.
The only President was Lincoln.
And he did abide by the Constitution, to respect the rights of slave owning states but to stop any further growth into the new territories.
It was over this that the South decided that they had to leave the Union, so they could expand their slavery over other men.
