Compare the leadership roles of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis

Abraham Lincoln stands for the Union Jefferson Davis is for the Confederacy

Explanation: The former is known as a leader that had a very hard time controlling his people and subordinates, specifically his Cabinet members. The Republicans did not show respect to Lincoln much more that he was not able to take any Senate or Cabinet post prior to his presidency. The other (Davis) is known as the leader who easily created enemies for the state and preferred battling all the oppositions by force rather than concentrating on making the governance more stable. As a West Point graduate, he really wanted to settle things quick with his army. It’s like you must go with him and win the war being fought or else you will die (if you won’t join the fight).

Many political leaders within the Confederacy criticized Davis because of such a warlike attitude to the point that many of them resigned one by one. This view also came to be contested by many of his cabinet members.

Lincoln had conflicts with the senate whereas Davis also got irked easily by Alexander Stephens, his vice president who has a completely different ideal and personality. Lincoln also showed blatant disrespect to the Supreme Court (SC) and the Constitution in several instances like when he increased his military size by his own approval and how he disregarded the SC’s ruling to release their captured enemies.
