You were listing a series of criticisms of Davis. I pointed out to you that the tax proposal came from the Confederate congress. Davis never proposed or signed a tax law as high as the Union's, and Lincoln did sign higher tax laws into existance. Wiggle as you want, but it doesn't change the facts, nor make you right.
. Seward says that troops won't go to Sumter and you attribute it to Lincoln.
Here is his quote from the 1st inauguration: "...there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere."
So, Lincoln did say that troops weren't going. So did Seward.

The higher rates were proposed by Memminger in 1864, Pea. He put forward the proposal for a 20% tax on incomes over $5,000 and 50% on sums of more than $10,000 incomes. The secretary of the treasury did it, Pea, not the confederate congress. I don't have anything to wiggle about.

The master of misquotes, aren't you Pea? Let's look at the entire passage in context.
"The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion -- no using of force against or among the people anywhere."
Lincoln was doing what he said he would do in his inagural address, no more and no less.
