Confederate President Jefferson Davis spoke to a crowd of Southerners in February 1862. He described the early military strategy of the Confederacy. The objective had been to protect every part of the South from attacks by the Union. This was a logical idea in that recruits were needed from all Southern states and that would be reduced wherever Union forces controlled Southern territory. This also would protect supplies needed by the military. Additionally, it was a political necessity to protect all the states that placed themselves at great risk by joining the Confederacy.
