傑佛遜‧大衛斯 (Jefferson Davis) 於1861116日被選為南方聯盟的總統

誰是內戰期間的總統?如果你是來自北方各州,你會回答亞伯拉罕‧林肯。如果你來自南方各州,你就會回答傑佛遜‧大衛斯。

1861116日,傑佛遜‧大衛斯被選為南方聯盟的總統,而不是北方聯邦政府的總統。他是得到無異議的同意,同時有六年之久的任期。大衛斯在正式擔任總統之前,其實已經當了一年的臨時總統。

你知道較早被選為總統的林肯對南方各州的選舉有什麼想法呢?


Who was president during the Civil War? If you were from a Northern state, you answered Abraham Lincoln. If you were from a Southern state, you may have answered Jefferson Davis.

On November 6, 1861, Jefferson Davis was elected president, not of the United States of America but of the Confederate States of America. He ran unopposed and was elected to serve for a six-year term. Davis had already been serving as the temporary president for almost a year.

How do you think President Lincoln, who had earlier been elected president of the United States, reacted to the Southern election?
