Gee I don't know. The same nerve that allowed Jeff Davis to say this?
"We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Law in nature tells us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude. Freedom only injures the slave. The innate stamp of inferiority is beyond the reach of change. You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables him to be."
So what? Did I ever say he didn’t say it? Nope. Is he my hero like Lincoln is yours? Do I spend years all over the internet defending him? NO! YOU DO!
