Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Davis was the only President of the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He served in both houses of the US Congress, fought in the Mexican War as colonel of a volunteer regiment, and was elected President in 1862. Originally hopeful of a military rather than a civil command in the Confederacy, he closely managed the army and was involved in many disagreements with the Confederate generals. Davis was briefly married to the daughter of what US president?
