Hard to see how he is relevant because his wasn't commanding the invading force. You see, Lincoln is roughly analogous to George III, not Jeff Davis.

In your fevered brain perhaps.

You need to take a deep breath, calm down and consider what you are saying. The analogy between Lincoln and George III is far more accurate than it is between Jeff Davis and George III.

Lincoln and George III represented the existing government. Both had command of overwhelming force compared to the other side. Both of them asserted that the states didn't have a right to secede, and must maintain perpetual allegiance to the existing government. Both of them sent forces to put a stop to this "Independence" nonsense.

Just how in the world could Jeff Davis resemble George III?
