“And can Idabooby supply any quotes from any Southern leaders of the time showing their views of the races was more...enlightened?”

And can Nonsensical just admit - His King was a Tyrant?

History is a funny subject - When written by Northern apologist.........

Federal Official Records, Series I, Vol. XLIX, Part n, pg. 253 - April 6, 1865: “The rebels [Forrest] are recruiting negro troops at Enterprise, Miss., and the negroes are all enrolled in the State.”

Federal Official Records: Series 2, vol 6, Part 1 (Prisoners of War) p. 17-18 - “...before one single negro or mulatto was mustered into the U.S. service you had them organized in arms in Louisiana. You had Indians and half-breed negroes and Indians organized in arms under Albert Pike, in Arkansas. Subsequently negroes were captured on the battlefield at Antietam and delivered as prisoners of war at Aiken's Landing to the Confederate authorities, and receipted for and counted in exchange.”

Federal Official Records, Vol. XIII, Chapter XXV, pg. 688, September, 1862 -”... We are not likely to use one negro where the rebels have used a thousand. When I left Arkansas they were still enrolling negroes to fortify the rebellion. “

Religious Herald, Richmond, VA, September 10, 1863 (From unedited microfiche of the original article): “To the Confederate army goes the distinction of having the first black to minister to white troops: “A correspondent of the soldier’s friend mentions a Tennessee reg. which has no chaplain; but an old negro, “Uncle Lewis,” preaches two or three times a week at night. He is heard with respectful attention —and for earnestness, zeal and sincerity, can be surpassed by none. Two or three revivals have followed his preaching in the regiment. What will the wise Christian patriots out of the army, who denounce those who wish to see competent negroes allowed to preach, as tainted with anti-slaveryism, say with regard to the true Southern feeling of that regiment, which has fought unflinchingly from Shiloh to Murfreesboro?’”

Nope. And I'm assuming that your answer to whether you can show any quotes from any Southern leaders showing their views towards the races was better than Lincoln's is the same?

Here we see Lost Cause hypocrisy in full bloom. You condemn Lincoln as a racist, yet ignore worse views from your rebel leaders. You condemn Lincoln as a tyrant, yet ignore worse acts of tyranny from your rebel leaders. You accuse Lincoln of everything under the sun, and ignore worse from your own rebel leaders. You are nothing if not predictable and your posts are almost always ridiculous. You lie and exaggerate and misquote and ignore inconvenient facts. And when cornered you resort to slurs and name calling. But for all that you're the most entertaining group of nutjobs I've ever come across. And it's the entertainment value of your mouth-foaming rants that keep me coming back.
