The Confederate's first secretary of war was Leroy Pope Walker. Jefferson Davis appointed Waker, a popular figure in Alabama because of political pressure. Walker was well educated and attended the universities of Alabama and Virginia. He, however, lacked any talents to assume the duties of his new post. Davis was forced to replace Walker with the first Jewish cabinet member in "American" history, Judah P. Benjamin.
