Who was the President of the Confederacy during the Civil War?
Unintentionally, a good question! It was the Confederacy itself, not the army, that had a president (Jefferson Davis). There was no General-in-Chief until the final weeks of the war, when the job was given to the only possible choice, Robert E. Lee. Davis, however, was an ex-Regular officer who could claim a respectable record as a Colonel in the Mexican War, and he had hoped to be made General-in-Chief instead of President. So he kept trying to combine both roles, and feuding viciously with his Generals as he did so. It could indeed have been joked that he was President of the Army.
