The correct answer is "Lincoln did not want armed conflict at Fort Sumter, but Davis acted quickly to cripple Union forces".
Lincoln was certainly adamant about avoiding military confrontation over the Fort. <u>His aims were put in preserving the Union</u>, <u>which proved to be extremely hard as the conflicts were started by the sates that had separated or seceded</u>, as well as the first attacks on Fort Sumter.
Davis cared a lot less about preservation and just tried to find <u>the quickest and most effective way to mitigate the conflict</u>. He believed crippling the Union's army would make them leave as they would not have enough time to respond and they'd be at a great disadvantage.

Free slaves economically--sharecropping forced former slaves back to the land they had worked and kept them indebted to the landholder.
The system of sharecropping meant for a piece of land to farm, a person would owe a portion of their crop to the landholder. This program kept blacks enslaved to the land not allowing them true freedom to leave and become ecnomically independent.
thoughts of political freedom and greater colonies were effects of the great awakening
All of these choices are correct.
