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!
Then that would mean that Lee and Davis were racist, too, would it not? And Jackson and Stephens and any other leader of the rebellion you would care to name.
As far as your Davis quote...would YOU put a kitten out in the middle of the freeway?
And as I pointed out, Davis owned those kittens for decades, buying and selling them throughout his life. Yet he didn't free a single one. At any point. You claim he was teaching them. I ask, teaching them for decades? Again, were they slow learners?
