Abraham Lincoln envisioned a united nation where the federal government held authority to preserve the Union and abolish slavery, emphasizing equality and freedom. In contrast, Jefferson Davis, as the President of the Confederacy, championed states' rights and the preservation of slavery, viewing it as essential to Southern economic and social order. While Lincoln sought to expand democracy and unify the country, Davis defended a fragmented vision rooted in regional identity and autonomy. Their opposing perspectives on governance and civil rights ultimately defined the conflict between the Union and the Confederacy.
