...slaves as much as Lincoln? Prior to the civil war Lincoln made it known to Davis that he would "gladly" (Lincoln's words) allow slavery to continue in slave states to preserve the union.
Ft. Sumter needing supplies Lincoln wrote Davis putting the ball in his court asking to supply the fort peacefully or for Davis to choose war. Davis attacked Lincoln then later signed the emancipation proclamation to cause unrest in the south and help the war effort.
So in effect had Davis simply negotiated Lincoln would have turned a blind eye to slavery so by attacking Davis had as much to do with ending slavery as Lincoln.
I just found it interesting how things are taught rather than the facts examined where history is concerned.
This is gonna start some crap but hey i like starting crap.
Crazy murve ..how does citing fact reflect on my views i care less what color people are this is just how history actually went down.
Dr. you remind me of the guy with the cheese head hat outside the FOX studio he doesn't know anything about FOX but he knows they lie. He can't cite a single FACT to support his being there he just knows he's right ...somehow LOL
lois...All you need do is go research it. i think you will find my account all though summarized fairly accurate as to the progression of events.
