During the first 18 months of the US Civil War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis faced the problem of balancing the conflicting opinions and criticisms of Southern leadership. One group of Southerners believed that Davis' strategy of staying too long on the defensive was causing Southern territory to be occupied by Union forces. This group demanded that offensive strategy against the North would curtail Northern victories in the South. Davis' problem, among many others, were to balance the idea of concentrating Southern forces to create an offensive and at the same time to prevent Union incursions on Southern territory. Davis had to balance these conflicting forces in his own "nation".
