Jefferson Davis
He was a Civil war hero to the west. He was also easily influenced, and he was more moderate in his stance on leaving the Union so he was chosen to be the President of the Confederate States. Alough he wanted to be a general in the army instead of the president in the end he ended up accepting the job. He Ran the army badly becuase he was fighting with the generals and also the States tried to determine laws for their new country and he argued against it. He eventually admitted defeat by running and he was later caught for treason in 1866. A quote from himNeither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Davis ----------> website
