Secession commissioner William L. Harris of Mississippi:

"Our fathers made this a government for the white man, rejecting the negro, as an ignorant, inferior, barbarian race, incapable of self-government, and not, therefore, entitled to be associated with the white man upon terms of civil, political, or social equality."

Perhaps you'd like to quote Lincoln, too, on the subject of racial equality, from his 1858 debate speeches.

Sure. If you'll quote from Jefferson Davis on the same subject.
