From 1862 to 1865, during the Civil War, Jefferson Davis led the Confederate States of America.

1 answer

Yes, that's correct. Jefferson Davis served as the President of the Confederate States of America from 1861 until the end of the Civil War in 1865. He was appointed to this position shortly after the Southern states seceded from the Union in 1861. As president, Davis faced numerous challenges, including managing the Confederate economy, securing resources and manpower for the war effort, and dealing with political factions within the Confederacy. His leadership style has been both criticized and defended by historians, and his tenure is marked by the struggles and eventual defeat of the Confederate States in 1865.
