It is important to note that implementing a traditional Civil War curriculum may be seen as glorifying the Confederacy and perpetuating racist beliefs and attitudes. Other states may want to do this to maintain a sense of Southern pride, preserve a certain narrative of history, or minimize the negative aspects of the Confederacy.
Jefferson Davis says in his speeches that it was the Southern states who chose to create the Confederacy.
In his speeches, Jefferson Davis generally expresses a desire for peace, but also asserts the right of the Confederacy to secede and defend itself if necessary. He often calls for diplomacy and peace efforts, but also emphasizes the willingness to fight for the Confederate cause.
Abraham Lincoln, on the other hand, consistently expresses a desire for peace and reconciliation. In his speeches, Lincoln emphasizes the need to preserve the Union and end the conflict through peaceful means. He often speaks of unity and working towards a peaceful resolution to the Civil War.
