You might want to try to actually do some reading from someplace other than Southron myth sites yourself. The fact of the matter is that Davis owned slaves his entire adult life, having as many as 115 at one time. In all those decades as a slave owner do you know how many he voluntarily freed? None. Zero, zip, nada, zilch. So if he spent all his time preparing them for freedom then were they just slow learners or something?
In March of 1861 Davis said, "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." That does not sound like a man who was prepared to free anyone.
It’s mind boggling when you crack a book and read facts instead of drinking the kool-aide.
So when are you going to get your mind boggled?
The fact is, Lincoln really didn’t give a flip about slavery, he used it as a tool to rally Northern troops to kill off their own neighbors....
I can provide any number of quotes from Lincoln indicating his opposition to slavery. Can you provide any quotes from Davis indicating the same?
And I can provide one which proves that Lincoln didn't give a rip about freeing any slaves and that he only cared about subjugating the Southern states.
I bet mine carries more weight than yours.

You can provide all the Lincoln quotes you want, but he didn’t give a flip about slavery...if all the states would’ve wanted slavery he would’ve approved it because he was a racist.
As far as your Davis quote...would YOU put a kitten out in the middle of the freeway? Jefferson knew the slaves needed to be taught how to be freed men. That why he had started TEACHING them!
