Fact, Davis only offered to free slaves in exchange for diplomatic recognition after Nov 1864. At that time the Confederacy had less than 6 months to live.

Of course Davis had gained the consent of the Confederate Congress before that and the diplomatic mission was delayed by the naval blockade. Davis himself had wanted to make the offer earlier but had to gain the consent of the Confederate Congress first. It is you PC Revisionists who aren't interested in facts - just your dogma.
