Don't be so hard on your man Davis, Comrade. After all it wasn't Lincoln but Davis who extended all enlistments in the confederate army, against the will of the soldiers. It wasn't Lincoln but Davis who slapped a levy on agricultural produce 'for the war effort' without compensation to the farmers. It wasn't Lincoln but Davis who had the government running industries like textile, salt manufacturing, and liquor. It wasn't Lincoln but Davis who siezed a percentage of the cargo space of every blockade runner, again without compensation and 'for the war effort'. It wasn't Lincoln but Davis who refused to establish an entire branch of government. Old Jeffy-boy jumped feet first into actions that Lincoln would never have considered. Lenin might have done those things, Stalin certainly would have, but not Lincoln.
What Davis did was done under duress, whereas what Clinton the First did was done with jubilation and elan, no duress.
Yeah, right. Davis had no problem with any of his actions regardless of how unconstitutional they were or how badly they trampled on the whole concept of states rights.
