He was president of the Confederacy, and caused one major reason for the Civil War: he wanted to secede from the United States (along with the rest of the South), but Abraham Lincoln couldn't let him do that. This argument lead straight to the Civil War. There were other reasons, of course, but those don't have to do much with Jefferson Davis.
Maybe a Freudian slip - impotent? important?
Alas, he was important but thoroughly impotent, in his handling of both the ConfederateGenerals and the CabinetMinisters.
Davis was the Confederate President, and could look like a good advertisement for slavery, as he treated his slaves so well that they didn't want their freedom.
But the true symbol of the Confederate spirit was Robert E. Lee.
