Yes. Davis was not one of the fire breathing advocates of the idea who took the lead in urging secession. But he did think it was the best thing for his state of Mississippi and the other southern states. Davis was a West Point graduate and an authentic hero of the Mexican War, and one of the few Americans who had so much as seen an entire regiment assembled in one place, let alone commanded a regiment in combat, and so hoped to be named commanding general of the army of the new southern nation. Instead he was chosen as its new president by the convention meeting in Montgomery, Alabama to adopt the Confederate Constitution and organize the new government. Davis had resigned from the US Senate and was at home in Mississippi when he was selected by the convention as president.
