Listen to just one passage of that 1200 page defense
-
of his Constitutional Movement.
-
"Slavery," Said Jeff Davis, by 1882,
-
"Was in no wise the cause of the conflict but only an incident.
-
Generally African-American"--excuse me--
-
"Generally Africans were born the slaves of barbarian masters,
-
untaught in all the useful arts and occupations,
-
reared in heathen darkness,
-
and sold by heathen masters.
-
They were transferred to
-
shores enlightened by the rays of Christianity."

Now he goes on, and I quote him.
