So you put Davis in the "Ethel Rosenburg" category, not the "Julius Rosenburg" category? ;-)
Did you see this thing on the exploration of the Bismarck?
Out of 700 14" and 16" shells fired at almost pointblank range they only found two penetrations of the belt armor. They found no important damage from the three torpedo hits form Dorcetshire. The Germans scuttled her.
The one torpedo hit fom the Swordfish caused massive damage to the starboard rudder and penetrated the hull, pushing the rudder into the center screw.
The show perpetrated the idea that Bismarck and not Prinz Eugen delivered the fatal shot to Hood, although I heard years ago that it was Eugen and not Bismarck that hit the Hood's magazine.
Prinz Eugen survived the war and wound up as a test dummy in one of the A-bomb tests.

What are you suggesting? That he violated the Constitution by suspending the writ of habeas corpus, or instituting a draft? Or perhaps that one violation of the Constitution somehow justifies another?

The 'Jefferson Davis the Racist' is a given...
There are many such 'givens' - more than just a few of which are applicable to Northerners of note. Not that I will mention any specifics, since it is apparently your argument (rather than mine ;>) that is based on 'morality' rather than the specific written words of the United States Constitution. But tell us: did you support all of President Clinton's actions? Hmm? I'm sure there is a 'moral' code of some sort that he used to justify them. Was he right to base his actions upon his own sense of 'morality' - or should he have simply complied with the written laws of the United States?
Bon appetit!
