FLT-bird: "No I posted it before and provided the source and you’ve never been able to refute it."

I doubt if you provided the sources, but they can be looked up easily enough, regarding: Davis sent Duncan F. Kenner to France & Britain offering abolition in exchange for recognition.
Yes, the idea was first presented by Kenner to Davis in 1864, but Davis refused thinking victory still possible.
Only when defeat became obvious to all at the very end in 1864 did Davis ask Kenner to visit France & Britain, and it was 1865 before Kenner got there.
Even then Kenner's was a secret mission with no notice given the Confederate congress or press and not revealed to the public until 30+ years later!

Davis supported it fairly early. It was gaining the support needed in the Confederate Congress that was the delay - not Davis. Yes Davis asked Kenner to go in 1864 but due to the blockade his passage was delayed.
