[Non-Sequitur]

INterestingly enough, it is believed that Abe Lincoln was once in a militia commanded by Jefferson Davis. I forget the details.

Hardly. Both were involved in the Blackhawk war but Davis was a second Lieutenant in the regular army and Lincoln served for about 80 days as a militia captain and never saw action. They never met during the conflict.

Yes, I knew Davis was a Lieutenant and in the Blackhawk war, and that Lincoln never saw action, but are you sure the story of the two being at the same place at the same time during the mustering of militias is not true?
