Yes, he used some from across the south with the consent of them and their master. He believed that no black man had to fight if he didnt want to. The idea of arming hundreds of thousands of slaves wasn't enacted until late in the war, he said that their would be no place for slavery after he got 300,000 negroes to retun after the war.
He fought for the South
Seriously? He was the President of the Confederate States of America. The South.
Obviously, as Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederacy in the Civil War, he fought against the Union.
Anaconda Plan.
Jefferson Davis believed that European countries would be on the side of the south because of their dependence on cotton.
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....
The obvious answer is yes. But he proved to be a kinderslave owner than the others in terms of treatment. He even offered to free his most trusted slave and overseer of the Davis plantation, James Pemberton, before going to fight in the Mexican War. But James refused, saying that he would rather stay at the place that was his home.This is proven in The Pursuit of a Dream.
The Mexican War, where he could claim a respectable record as a Colonel.
Jefferson F. Davis was president of the Confederate States of America and served in the Mexican American War and Black Hawks War. As an aside, Jefferson Davis was a West Point graduate and served as the US Secretary of War.
Based on the circumstances in 1861, it can be almost called a miracle, almost is important, that a new central government ruling the new Confederacy was built from scratch. The South had no central government, no army or navy to speak of and much of it had to do with the efforts of Jefferson Davis. Davis is sometime maligned as a leader, this is not true. His efforts to organize the South and help fight a Union army with almost unlimited resources to fight a major was a remarkable feat, to which much credit belongs to Jefferson Davis.
The Confederates. Afterwards, Jefferson Davis said his biggest mistake was failing to promote Beford Forrest.
One of the reasons could consist in his fear that Abraham Lincoln would be cruel against the opposing states.
