What was something Jefferson Davis do for the people?

the first answer was "nothing", but I strongly disagree about that. Jefferson Davis did many good things for the people of the South, but not for the people of the North. Jefferson led his people to fight for what they believe in, even though what they believed in was wrong. Jefferson Davis was actually not such a bad guy, once you think about it....

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.
