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!

No he didn't.

And there’s plenty of documentation that he did.

Then you should have no problems coming up with some. Some quote from the man indicating his intention to free all his slaves. Some document showing how he was preparing them for freedom. Something along those lines.

Jefferson Davis served in the military, then became a senator, then Secretary of War, and didn’t return to Mississippi until 1857!

Then who was the Jefferson Davis who bought Brierfield Plantation in 1836? Who was the Jefferson Davis who married Varina Davis in Natchez in 1845? Who was the Jefferson Davis who ran for Congress in 1844? We must not be thinking of the same Jefferson Davis, which could explain your crazy ideas of what the man believed.

Like I said, READ something once in awhile!

I've read several biographies of the man. You've never made it past revisionist websites.

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!

About fifteen months into the war, actually. Lincoln first presented his draft of the proclamation to his cabinet in the summer of 1862. Your math is as weak as your history is.
