Regardless of whether or not the confederacy had won; regardless of how popular Davis was at the end of the war (and he was about as popular as the cholera) he could not have been elected president again. The confederate constitution mandated a single 6 year term. sw should have known that.

i DID know about the 6-year single term of the CS, BUT that too has NOTHING to do with who would have been elected president if our southland had won the WBTS! i suspect that one of the southland's generals would have been the next president or perhaps a former cabinet officer.

SW has selective memory on a lot of things. LOL
