Answer:
D. He believes the Southern states are superior to the Northern states in every respect, and therefore it is best to secede.
Explanation:
Jefferson Davis's speech in his Inaugural address as leader of the Confederacy cements his plan of preserving the freedom and liberty of the Southern states. His speech which was given mere weeks before the start of the Civil War in America shows his determination in keeping the rights of the Southern states and seceding from the Union.
Davis was of the opinion that since the nation of America was founded based on the shared interest of the states, it is also mandatory to keep one's interest in mind and break away, if the need arises. Just like that, he declared that since the South's interest is not the same as the Northern states, it is better for them to secede from the nation and have their own government. He believes that seceding from the nation is the best option to preserve and maintain the freedom and interest of the Southern states, and also believes that the north is inferior to them, which makes the secession a valid choice.
