Correct Answer(s) Long before Lincoln called for emancipation, blacks in the North and South referred to the war as the "freedom war."

While he may have been able to wax elegant in the U.S. Senate, Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, failed to communicate the reasons and meaning of the Confederate war effort.
