Description

The Jefferson Davis bronze statue at Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Jefferson Davis won lasting fame as President of the Confederate States of America. He was a graduate of West Point Military Academy and a veteran of the Mexican War where he earned the rank of Colonel. Davis then served terms as a United States Senator and was Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce. When Mississippi seceded from the Union, Davis returned to his plantation a few miles south of Vicksburg. It is there that he received news that he had been elected President of the Confederacy.
