So based on honest, how do you compare Jefferson Davis to Lincoln. Lincoln had a constitution to follow, and a bill of rights. If he had obeyed the law, the civil war never would have happened. Jeff Davis was under attack, I don’t get your comparison.

So did Jefferson Davis.

If he had obeyed the law, the civil war never would have happened.

What law did he violate?

Jeff Davis was under attack...

So was Lincoln. But Davis was the initiator of the war.

Seriously, you know nothing about actual history, do you?

Your buddy, your pal, your close personal friend -- Jeffy-baby Davis -- after you sat and drank moonshine-koolaid with him, where you called him "Jeffy" and he called you "Foundy", in early 1861 your buddy was "under attack" from nobody until, until after "Jeffy-baby" began rebelling, insurrecting, invading and making war on the United States.

Still, Jeffy-baby was "under attack" from nobody until after Jeff's Confederate government formally declared war on the United States.

Then and only then did all h*ck break loose, and Jeffy-baby and his Confederate "government" received what they so ardently wished for and so richly deserved.

Seriously, pal, study and learn some real history.

In fact, the US Constitution requires the Federal Government to defend the United States against rebellion, insurrection, "domestic violence", treason, attacks, invasions and those who declare war against the USA.
Your good buddy, Jeffy-baby's Confederates did all of those things before a single Confederate soldier was killed in battle with the United States Army.

Seriously, pal, study and learn some real history.
