Sounds like your defense of Lincoln and critique of Jeff Davis is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Lincoln did nothing more than to constantly mug and roll the US Constitution during his years in office. He was an American version of Julius Caesar, only he never was able to establish himself as an absolute monarch. Read more of the Founders' intent, not your Yankee bilge history.
I would say that Davis mugged his constitution but he went farther than that. He ignored whole sections in addition to his other crimes. And the thing of it is that not a single one of you southron fanatics is in the slightest bit bothered by it. You scream and rant and rave about Lincoln and the crimes you say he committed. But Jeff Davis locking up congressmen? So what. Jeff Davis ignoring the constitution and it's requirements about a judiciary? Who cares! Jeff Davis closing down newspapers? They deserved it! Jeff Davis declaring martial law? Big deal! You're the pot calling the kettle 'grimy arse' in this scenario, not me.
All hail King Jeff! Appointed to office in the first place because the first three choices fell out of the running. Later elected, and I use that term losely, in an election where he ran unopposed. Lincoln should have had it so good.
Show it.
