Jefferson Davis

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.

Jefferson Davis had trouble keeping the Confederacy unified because the states did not want to be told what to do. The South was loosely allied with each other for common defense. Jefferson was nervous in leadership and refused to delegate authority.

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!

When he was about to be captured by Union troops, he tried to escape dressed as a woman. This was not a very Confederate way of handling arrest.

Because Mississippi the State that he was the senator for seceded from the union along with 6 other states and they formed a confederacy which later Jefferson Davis was the President of.

Pretty slender.

His appointment of Robert E. Lee to command the Army of Northern Virginia was one of his few successful appointments.

Generally, he was out of his depth, feuding with his Generals, unable to control his cabinet, and refusing to make public speeches. He just kept issuing appeals for loyalty. In the end, this was not sufficient, and he fled from his responsibilities at the moment of surrender.

He was its only president, and acted as general in chief until January 1865 when he gave Robert E. Lee that position. His political and military background made him a perfect match for the leadership of the South.
