Jefferson Davis became the President of the Confederate States of America after being elected by the Confederate Congress in February 1861. His prior experience as a U.S. Senator and Secretary of War, along with his strong ties to the South, positioned him as a prominent leader for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Davis was chosen for his perceived ability to unify the Southern states and lead them in their fight for independence from the Union. He served until the Confederacy's defeat in 1865.
