"When president Lincoln found out that Alexander Stephens' newphew was a POW, he had him released at once."

Hitler is reported to have protected Jewish entertainers whose talents he appreciated. Individual actions out of context are not of much value in judging a man's character.

"Show something like that on the CSA side."

Whether one can or not is irrelevent to the question of Lincoln's character; you are trying the same fallacious argument that Non-Sequitur is so fond of.

Reported by whom?

And as you know, President Lincoln told General Grant to "Let 'em up easy", in regard to the Army of Northern Virginia.

Lincoln was always ready to forgive on the basis of Christianity.

I'm not sure that the defenders of Hitler can say the same thing.

I know that the defenders of the so-called CSA very seldom cite the record.
