Jefferson Davis

Jefferson Finis Davis was an American soldier and statesman, and later became the president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War fought between 1861 and 1865.

Background
Davis took personal charge of the Confederate war plans but was unable to find a strategy to defeat the larger, more powerful, and better organized Union. His diplomatic efforts, as well as the release of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation war measure, resulted in failure to gain recognition from any foreign country. At home he paid little attention to the collapsing Confederate economy; the government printed more and more paper money to cover the war's expenses, leading to runaway inflation.

Appearances
Jefferson Davis is mentioned by Roger Maxson in his diary in Fallout and Fallout 3.
