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.

Why should we remember Jefferson Davis today?
Jefferson Davis was a key figure in the US Civil War. His position as president of the Confederacy was monumental and the fact that he was once the US Secretary of War is most notable. Jefferson's policies greatly effected the US Civil War. In fact it was Davis who authorized the assault on Fort Sumter, which led to the US Civil War. He made decisions that were errors but also made decisions that greatly helped the South. For example, his appointment of Robert E. Lee to command the Southern army defending Richmond in 1862 was a good choice. Lee was called in to replace the wounded Joseph Johnston.
