His bad decisions and errOr caused him to lose the war...
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....
He was President of the Confederate States of America - a bad choice, especially compared to his opposite number Abraham Lincoln. The very different calibre of the two Presidents was a big factor in Union victory.
Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America, suffered from a number of illnesses throughout his life. He experienced recurring bouts of malaria, as well as respiratory issues and chronic bronchitis. Additionally, he suffered from various gastrointestinal problems, including dysentery, hemorrhoids, and digestive issues.
Assessing whether Jefferson Davis was a "good person" depends on perspective and context. As President of the Confederate States during the American Civil War, he supported slavery and the secession of Southern states, actions that have been widely criticized for their moral implications. While some view him as a figure of Southern pride and a defender of states' rights, his legacy is deeply intertwined with issues of racism and oppression, making it challenging to label him definitively as a good or bad person. Ultimately, interpretations of his character vary significantly based on historical and personal viewpoints.
Everybody makes bad decisions at times.
The Civil War led to the fall of the Confederation. Also, the fact that its first president, Jefferson Davis was all but senile and made some very bad decisions. Also, General Sherman's drive to the sea.
Jefferson Davis - not a success, partly because he had wanted to be General-in-Chief and turned out a bad chooser and user of Generals.

Minimal - the man was out of his depth. His handling of his Generals was a bad mixture of cronyism and military misjudgment. He could not control his cabinet. He did not go out on the stump, making morale-raising speeches in public. He just stayed at home, making appeals for loyalty.

Yes, the Jefferson country school was closed for the bad weather .

No. We are resposible for our own decisions.
For the most part, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was extremely active as the South's commander in chief. This was a bad idea, because Davis had a military background, running both the military and the Confederacy left allot to be desired. He did take strong counsel from Robert E. Lee and finally early in 1865, and too late, Lee was appointed general in chief of Southern forces.
