Jefferson Davis

Briefly. Davis married Sarah Knox Taylor on June 17, 1835 in Louisville, Kentucky. But it was a short-lived marriage because she died of malaria three months later.

Depending on how you look at it, he was an abolishionist. He spoke against slavery calling it a deplorable practice, yet he owned many slaves and even fathered children with some of them. In public, he was agaist slavery but in his personal life he benefited from it.

John Adams was an ally, but it depends at what time. They had different view points and many times found themselves on opposing sides as rivals. Ben Franklin also served as an ally.

Yes, in Georgia.

He was more-or-less fantasising that he and his cabinet could continue the struggle from somewhere West of the Mississippi.

Hs two-year prison sentence earned him some sympathy, and he was allowed a dignified retirement.

Confederate President Davis ignored the general consensus on sending troops to reinforce Vicksburg. General Lee convinced Davis that sending Southern troops from Virginia was not a good idea. Eager to avoid a propaganda victory for the Union, Davis asked General Braxton Bragg to send reinforcements to Johnston's forces.

Davis was a US Congressman from Mississippi, a brigadier general in the US army, Secretary of War under Pierce and US Senator before he was president of the Confederate States. He also married President Taylor's daughter Sarah.

Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederate States of America and the Commander in Chief of the Confederate armed forces. He had a fairly good understanding of overall strategy and logistics. Confederate solders did not have a whole lot of food but they had enough to eat until the very end. They had enough ammunition until the very end. Jefferson Davis had a problem with tactics. He liked to micromanage as much as possible from the capital in Richmond rather than let his generals on site run the battles. At the battle of Vicksburg, General Pemberton reported directly to Davis instead of to General Joe Johnson. Davis tried to run the Battles of Chattanoga and Atlanta from Richmond. He failed miserably. His mistrust of his generals on site led to his downfall.

The impact that the Civil War had on the North and the South was: North: * North abolished slavery after the war because of the Emancipation Proclamation South * South grew poor * South experienced inflation

Jefferson Davis married Varina Howell on February 26, 1845. She was his second wife.

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....

Not having to face a General Election in mid-war.

The north was effected by the civil war in different ways. Racism spread as the whites felt their need for superiority grow. The North had kept the country united, but it was still in shambles. They had to fight with a south that they distrusted and try to mend conflicts.

Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln were born in the southern state of Kentucky.

The Lincoln family would eventually move and settle in Illinois.

The Davis family would eventually move and settle in Mississippi.

He's generally not considered a hero. To Unionists, he was a traitor, end of story. To Confederates, he wasn't a particularly good leader, and his weak government contributed to the ultimate loss in the war.

Ja! Jeff Davis ruled as a Dictator, there weren't any "free elections" during the failed rebellion called, loosely, the Confederated States of America, claiming eleven (11), but only having and credit for seven (7) territories at all. And then, and then, the Union divided into thirds! Sad! The rebellion was a disaster from the first cannon shot to the last shell fired in Texas at "friendly forces!" A oligarchical dictatorship of rich slave owners, calling themselves 'so-called christians,' and not! Jeff Davis fled one capitol after another in disgrace, and where General Lee regained his Citizenship with honor. Jeff Davis sulked away till his death in treasonous defeat and disgrace, keeping slaves to the end of his days! To this day, no one claims any lineage to the traitor! no 'teabuggers' allowed to disgrace Answer.com!
