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 you lost cause revisionists aren’t interested in facts - just your dogma.”

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.

Does not in any way alter the fact the Confederacy was crashing down around Jefferson Davis at the time he finely acted to offer emancipation in exchange for diplomatic recognition. Still a last ditch effort to save a dying Confederacy.
