As it turned out, it was the U.S. Constitution that prevented him being tried at all,

That statement is almost as ridiculous as your statement that the South never seceded and that there never was a Confederacy((((!!))))

into well-deserved obscurity

It's hard to imagine how you could top the above statement but you've somehow managed to do so.

From Google:

Results 1 - 10 of about 747,000 for jefferson davis confederate president

Results 1 - 10 of about 640,000 for abraham lincoln president

It is not an acquittal, and the government could have proceeded again had they chosen to.

I said a 'de facto' acquittal, which it was. Nolle prosequi was a nice tidy way for the corrupt yankee government to extricate themselves from the tangled web they had woven and to not have to face the court of world opinion with a public trial.

Did the confederacy or did the confederacy not initiate the war by bombarding Sumter? It was their war, the death and destruction is on Davis's head.

It has been shown on this thread (see post #66) that Lincoln purposely violated agreements with SC in order to commence hostilities. The war, the death and the destruction is solely on disHonest Abe's and the northern sheeples collective heads.

Here’s a little more honest comparison.

Results 1 - 10 of about 8,530,000 for “abraham lincoln”

Ridiculous to you, perhaps. But then again your grasp of historical fact has always appeared to be a bit tenuous.

You must be using Good Ol' Google or some such website. If I google Abraham Lincoln I get 8,790,000 hits. If I google Jefferson Davis I get 2,160,000. Of course I can google my name and get 12,600 hits, so I wouldn't place too much emphasis on those stats.

In your imagination, perhaps. Legally nolle prosequi implies neither guilt or acquittal.

I dount that world opinion gave a damn about Davis' fate one way or the other.

Again, in your dreams. Any agreement South Carolina may have had with Buchanan had been violated by them long before Lincoln was inaugurated.
