Which side was led by Jefferson Davis and supported slavery, with Robert E. Lee as a general?

• A. Union
• B. Confederacy
• C. British
• D. France

Answer: (B)

This question asks you to identify the side in the Civil War associated with Jefferson Davis and with Robert E. Lee as a general. Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America, the southern states that seceded from the United States, and Robert E. Lee was their leading general. This side proclaimed a desire to preserve slavery and to maintain states’ rights that supported it, forming the Confederacy. The opposite side, the Union, fought to restore the United States and, over time, end slavery. So the best choice is the Confederacy, the Confederate States of America.
