Colonel.
He had served honourably in the Mexican War, and when the Civil War started, he hoped that this would qualify him as a General.
The rest of the new Confederate cabinet thought otherwise, and 'kicked him upstairs' to President, where he was officially Commander-in-Chief, like his opposite number Abraham Lincoln.
Davis did not welcome this promotion, and kept trying to act General-in-Chief - where his poor military judgment became more and more apparent.
