Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis
The President of the United States was Abraham Lincoln and the Confederate States president was Jefferson Davis. Each man would serve for the entire war, 1861 to 1865.
The Constitution of the Confederate States was very similar to the Constitution of the United States, but there were key differences. The President had essentially the same duties as the US president and was elected via an Electoral College as well. The major difference was that the Confederate President was elected to a single six year term and was not eligible for reelection.
The Confederate States of America was made up of the states that seceded from the US to bring about the Civil War. When the war ended these states returned to the Union and the Confederate States ceased to exist. The Confederate States had only one president and that was Jefferson Davis. He might be called a confederate president, I suppose, but he was not president of the US.
