"I agree with Mr. Perkins and so did Davy Crockett and other statesmen."

Davy Crockett didn't. That was a lie propragated 70 years after Crockett's death by the Whig party. Crockett never made the speech "Not mine to give" to congress or it would have been recorded in the Congressional annals. Crockett actually voted on several bills to provide help to individuals and his voting record was mixed on the matter. He considered each case individually.
