Question

as president, jefferson davis
deferred all major military strategy to robert e. lee.
created an effective central command system.
had virtually no knowledge at all of military tactics and strategy.
relied heavily on the advice of braxton bragg.
offered experienced military advice to his generals.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Jefferson Davis didn't defer all major military strategy to Lee. He was involved in military planning. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The Confederate central command system had issues, so he didn't create an effective one. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Davis had military experience (West Point, Mexican - American War), so he wasn't ignorant of tactics/strategy. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Braxton Bragg was not a primary advisor Davis relied heavily on. Eliminate.
• Option 5: Davis had military background (West Point graduate, served in military), so he could offer experienced military advice to his generals. This is correct.

Answer:

E. offered experienced military advice to his generals.
