On paper, Jefferson Davis had all the credentials to be the political leader of the Confederacy. He was intelligent, and before graduating from West Point, he had attended Transylvania University, ( the school exists today )

Davis had a protracted tenure in public service in both the legislative and executive branches of the US government. He was perfectly at home in Washington DC and later in Richmond. He had been elected to the House of Representatives and later to the US Senate. He had also served for a term as the US Secretary of War. He also had earned a reputation of being a man of courage.

His weakness was to be slow in delegating power and his interference in military matters that would have best been handled by a top general.
