Question

Jefferson Davis frequently clashed with his Cabinet in the Confederate government. Why?

Answer 1

Davis maintained national unity to secure independence, while his cabinet stressed ‘state rights’. During his time of office, stuff did not go okay for him. He was often in difference with his Cabinet, Congress, the governors of the Confederate States, plus with the generals of the Confederate Army. The Confederate government could not give the impression to work well together, which eventually showed to be a reason for the Confederacy’s defeat.
