Lincoln spoke to what he considered to be basic black and white racial differences which, in my [Lincolns] judgment, will probably forever forbid their [blacks] living together on the footing of perfect equality.150 years later, it's just a little difficult to say he was utterly and entirely wrong.

Ah but the difference is that he was alive at the time and was one of the founders of the CSA. His view point is as vital to understanding the Civil War as the view points of the founding fathers on the American revolution.
Pushing ‘ the lost cause’ notion that came only AFTER the war was lost is not useful. History is usually messy but we can’t pretend that causes and conditions of the times were what they were. To pretend otherwise says we will never fully learn the lessons.

so the slavers really called their executive mansion the White House? I think it was Theodore Roosevelt who first used the term "White House" to officially refer to the Executive Mansion. I would assume that referring to the Confederate version as the White House is more recent as well. Actually, the building in Montgomery that is usually referred to as the first Confederate White House was painted grey.

Yep. TR’s executive order, but it had been called the ‘White House’ even before it was burned in the War of 1812.

Thanks. I love to try to refurbish old photographs. Unfortunately the one here (white house keeper) was in too bad shape for me to do much with it with my limited resources and knowledge.
I refurbished some of my grandmother's relatives old photos, and she really liked them.
Example:
Before:
After:
(It really doesn't show up well here, but the original photo was in really bad shape.)

Anyone who has an old antique photo in bad shape with spots, cracks, etc., post it and I’ll see what I can do.
