Jeffferson Davis ,President of the Confederacy was anti-slavary

False, he owned more than 100.

and the southern congress was already holding hearing on the abloishment of slavary when Lincoln attacked.

Not that I'm aware of. Understandably, they had other things on their minds.

Davis owned no slaves(adopted a young black man as his son).

There is no documentation Davis ever adopted Jim Limber. Seems to not have spent much thought on him after the war. More likely he was brought into the family as a playmate for their son of the same age, much as one might "adopt" a puppy.

Neither did General Lee and the rest of the Confederate Generals

Lee may not have owned slaves but did administer an estate with many. Wade Hampton, for one example, owned the most slaves in SC and possibly in the entire country.

whereas almost all of the Northern Generals owned slaves.

Would appreciate a statistical analysis to support such an idiotic statement.

Lincoln was a slave owner. Liberal historians try hide this by saying that the slaves were his wife's not his..

Various members of Mary's family owned numbers of slaves. Some of these may at times have been assigned to work for Mary on a temporary basis. I know of no evidence she, or certainly Lincoln, ever held title to slaves.

History is wrote by the victor, it does not necessarily mean that it is 100% true.
