[Non-Sequitur]

I'm looking forward to all the posts from the southron contingent giving quotes from the Southern leaders that show their views towards blacks were much more compasionate and enlightened than were Lincoln's. Surely they must have some?

Sure, Jefferson Davis said blacks were indespensible -- well he used the term "african slaves", but you know what he meant.

You seem to be confused: your friend Walt seems to quote Jefferson Davis quite a bit more than any Freepers "from the southron contingent." And Walt is just as confused as you appear to be - he can't quite decide whether he is quoting 'Jefferson Davis the Statesman,' who's words would apparently be worth quoting, or 'Jefferson Davis the Despicable Traitor,' who's words we should presumably ignore.

But then, most of us have learned to expect nothing BUT confusion 'from the northern contingent'...
