Oh give me a break, Pea. Davis...Davis government...what is the difference? Do you differentiate between what Lincoln said and what Seward said? Of course not. Seward says that troops won't go to Sumter and you attribute it to Lincoln. Likewise with the confederate income tax. The confederate treasury secretary sent proposals to the confederate legislature proposing tax levels as high as 50%. Are you suggesting that Davis didn't know he was doing it? And they were higher than anything proposed by Lincoln so my statement was truthful. And yours was a lie.
Davis...Davis government...what is the differenceYou were listing a series of criticisms of Davis. I pointed out to you that the tax proposal came from the Confederate congress. Davis never proposed or signed a tax law as high as the Union's, and Lincoln did sign higher tax laws into existance. Wiggle as you want, but it doesn't change the facts, nor make you right.
. Seward says that troops won't go to Sumter and you attribute it to Lincoln.
Here is his quote from the 1st inauguration: "...there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere."
So, Lincoln did say that troops weren't going. So did Seward.
