Who acted as President of the Confederate States of America in the U.S. Civil War?
a. Ulysses S. Grant
b. Robert E. Lee
c. Abraham Lincoln
d. Jefferson Davis
The answer is D. Jefferson Davis! Davis resigned from the Senate in January 1861, after receiving word that Mississippi had seceded from the Union. The following month, he was provisionally appointed President of the Confederate States of America. He was elected to a six-year term that November. During his presidency, Davis was not able to find a strategy to defeat the more industrially developed Union.
