Jefferson Davis installed a more intrusive government - including the first conscription, forced levy of farm products for military used, appropriation of slave labor for military use - and he tried to force through income taxes many times higher than those proposed by Lincoln. If you support Davis then wouldn't you be proposing a worse system than Lincoln every imagined?

I haven't read of any Southerners rioting against Jeff Davis for his policies. When Mr. Lincoln tried to draft citizens and turn them into implements of war, they rebelled.

Jeff Davis and Mr. Lincoln were men of different moral and ethical backgrounds and did not share the same core values.

Jeff Davis rode a big white horse,

Abe Lincoln rode a mule.

Jeff Davis was a gentleman,

Abe Lincoln was a fool.
