I've said that I have problems with President Davis' actions and do not defent the ones I have a problem with. I'm not the one trying to justify Davis by saying Lincoln did bad things too.

Yet you are willing to remain silent on those transgressions of Davis in your haste to rant about the problems you see with Lincoln. Lincoln is the tyrant and not Davis? Lincoln is the dictator and not Davis? By any fair measure those titles more properly belong to Davis rather than Lincoln. Davis never ran in a fair election, ignored the confederate constitution at his pleasure, arrested opponents, siezed property, injected the government into the lives of the average southern citizen to an extent never dreamed of by the Lincoln administration. But Lincoln is the object of your ire instead.
