Not sure but I think that would have been President Davis.

Patrick Cleburn would have been a better choice (imho)

Cleburne was toast after he proposed Emancipation for Southern slaves if they agreed to fight for the South. Jeff Davis wasn’t having any of that, preferring to continue fighting in defense of the ‘particular institution’ instead of changing the war strategy to attaining independence at the cost of slavery.
