Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Davis urged national unity to secure independence, while his Cabinet stressed "states rights."

Jefferson Davis frequently clashed with his Cabinet in the Confederate government because Davis urged national unity to secure independence, while his Cabinet stressed "states rights."

Jefferson Davis (1808-1889) was an American Senator and later was chosen to be the President of the Confederate States during the Civil War years. He always supported the rights of the Southern States and slavery because he knew that the Southern States depended on slaves to produce cash crops in the plantations.
