Both Lincoln and Davis were men of their time just as the World War II veterans who saw nothing wrong with a segregated U.S. Army were men of their time.

One hundred years from now, when social norms change as they invariably do, all of us now alive in 2003 will be considered less than enlightened by those willing to judge us by 2103 standards.

NO. You completely disregard his ability to grow while in office. By the time the war was over he had spent his entire life fighting to free the slaves. Just like Lincoln.
