It really doesn't matter if I can or can't. Your attempt to deflect the issue is specious and disingenious. You don't convict a person in court based upon the actions of another - they stand on their own merit.

That's pretty much the answer I expected from you. You condemn President Lincoln as a racist and ignore the fact that the views of every single confederate leaders were worse. You condemn President Lincoln for what you claim were Constitutional infractions and ignore the fact that the actions of Jefferson Davis were worse. You people can't be taken seriously.
