Confederate President Jefferson Davis believed he was fighting the US Civil War for the independence of the South. This meant that Southern ways of life, such as slavery, would be safe and or remain within the prerogative of the new nation to handle. He believed that the Union had violated the US Constitution and as this was his opinion, the South no longer wished to be part of the USA. He wanted the powers in Europe to recognize the new Confederate nation and thus become part of world affairs.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis took part in many military matters for the South. Part of the reason for this was his military education,his former post as US Secretary of War, and actual war experience. With that said, Davis sent General Joseph Johnston to command the South's Western Department. This covered Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and the eastern part of Louisiana.
