Since men like Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis and Thomas Jackson were also racists who opposed equal rights for blacks, who wanted to keep all blacks in slavery, and were just as likely to use the N-word as Lincoln was

Sounds like a go-fetch activity. Can you support these claims?

All those men showed by their deeds and their words that they believes slavery was the best possible place for blacks while they were in the South. Lee paid passage for former slaves to Liberia, so he was certainly no foe of colonization. And I'm not aware of any quote by any of the men supporting rights of any kind for blacks.
