Jefferson Davis (1808 – 1889) was an American politician and served as the President of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865. During the American Civil War, Davis guided the Confederate policy and served as its commander in chief. In the aftermath of the Confederate forces were defeated in 1865, Davis was captured, accused of treason, and imprisoned at Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia. However, he was never tried for his accusation and was released after two years. Immediately after the war, Davis was often blamed for the Confederacy's loss.
