You thought no such thing. What you thought is "how can I deflect this accurate and historically supportable charge against Lincoln by invoking supposed wrong doing by someone else. "

You raised the subject, I just jumped in.

Again, when a man can be locked up and accused of treason for simply writing a song praising a former general, the man locking him up can also easily win elections by intimidating any potential challengers or their supporters.

I don't know. I'd love to take the person who wrote "Baby Shark" and lock them up and throw away the key.

And I don't care what Davis did.

Of course you don't. Interest in Davis would be...inconvenient.

I pointed out that to a man who would lock up another man and accuse him of "treason" for writing a song, winning an election is not all that difficult.

When you are throwing people in jail for virtually nothing, people become afraid of you.

Inconvenient to the extent that I don't see him as significant. He never had control of whether or not there would be a war. He never had control of whether or not the war would continue. He was a small fish in the larger events.

Maybe I should read more about him, because I don't know a great deal about anything of significance he did. He just isn't the focus of the Civil War. He merely stood in the shadow of Lincoln.
