Best Answer

Jefferson Davis has been criticized for giving leadership appointments to close friends and choosing his administration based on recommendations from prominent people rather than personal merit. Lincoln, on the other hand, chose a cabinet that would be balanced. He had no problem appointing men who had been his former rivals for the office. He surrounded himself with strong minded men, many who had even greater credentials than he.
