In February 1861, Jefferson Davis became President of the new Confederate States.

During the American Civil War, he lived in the Confederate capital Richmond, Virginia. By the end of the war in 1865, Davis had fled the city.

President Abraham Lincoln believed Davis had integrity and intelligence, and was saddened that he could never meet him man to man to talk, despite the war. (PROSE: Blood and Hope [+]Loading...["Blood and Hope (novel)"])
