Diversionary tactics. But as an aside several of Davis' former slaves wrote to President Davis after the war, and visisted the family. Hardly the actions of someone with a hatred of the man.
Big deal. The Slave Narratives are full of quotes from former slaves speaking well of their former owners. Jeff Davis was no different than the other tens of thousands of humane slave owners. For all we know Lincoln would have made a humane slave owner. Would that save him from your condemnation?
But let's get back to the criteria you judge Lincoln on. Did Davis believe that whites were superior to blacks? Certainly he did, he believed it to the day he died. Did Davis believe in slavery? Yes, and he further believed that it was the proper place for blacks. Did Davis object to Mississippi laws like the ones which outlawed free blacks from entering the state? There is no evidence that I'm aware of that he did object to them. Did Davis beleive in voluntary emigration of free blacks to Africa? I've never heard him say that. Davis believed that blacks belonged where they were, in his cotton fields with title to them in his pocket. According to William Cooper, the only known time where Davis speculated on the end to slavery was prior to the war, and his solution was deporting free blacks to Mexico and Central America. So you Davis was certainly no different in most ways than Abraham Lincoln where race was concern. Will you be crying 'Tear down the statue' now?
