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.

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?

Yes, he did! And there’s plenty of documentation that he did. And you’re full of spit! Jefferson Davis served in the military, then became a senator, then Secretary of War, and didn’t return to Mississippi until 1857! The freaking war started in 1861...now tell me how many decades are there between 1857 and 1861! Like I said, READ something once in awhile!

Whereas, Lincoln didn’t bring his great Emancipation Declaration until the third year of the war, when men were gettng tired of his war and weren’t signing up!

As I pointed out, Jefferson Davis didn’t even own a freaking slave until after his father and his FIVE OLDER brothers were all gone and he returned to Mississippi, actually in 1858! How many decades are there between 1858 and 1861? READ something once in a while!
