Davis, a central irony emerge? When considering the wartime leadership offered by Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, a central irony emerges in that?
1. neither man was very committed to the efforts he embarked on.
2. Jefferson Davis made grandiose public statements about what the Confederate States of America might be able to accomplish but privately believed that the South never had a chance.
3. Abraham Lincoln brought little political experience to his presidency yet rose to the occasion to become a masterful leader, while Jefferson Davis, a seasoned politician, proved to be a relatively ineffectual chief executive.
4. Lincoln successfully shepherded the nation through an awful war and yet struggled with his own misgivings about America's form of republicanism.
