During the sectional crisis, Jefferson Davis emerged as a prominent advocate for the Southern cause, emphasizing states' rights and the preservation of slavery. He served as a U.S. Senator from Mississippi and later as the Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce, where he supported pro-Southern policies. As tensions escalated, he became a key leader in the Confederate States of America, ultimately serving as its president during the Civil War, where he sought to unite the Southern states and defend their sovereignty against the Union.
