Shirley you don’t mean to imply that Davis started a War to free the slaves?

Well according to you, that's what happened, isn't it?

You say Davis started the war, and of course you and I both know, without a war, the Union retains slavery into the foreseeable future.

As Mohammad Ali said "I'm glad my grandaddy got on that boat!" so too should people who wanted abolition be glad that the War started, because without it, the Union would have kept slavery.

It sounds as if we should all be thanking Davis for what you claim he did.
