Davis was not the President of the United States. He was an outlaw who lead an outlaw movement. His inauguration was not legitimate. It was illegal. We fought a war over this. Seceding from the Union was not & is not an option. Don’t give the idea legitimacy…then or now…

From what we know of Mr. Lincoln’ voice & delivery, Orson was incorrect. Lincoln had a higher pitched almost reedy voice & he spoke slower than most folks of his age. Plus Wells needed to throw in a little Kentucky & Southern Indiana accent to be more authentic.
