Only one person has ever held the title of President of the Confederate States of America. In this episode, we're going to find out more about him and the power structure of the Civil War rebel states.
How did the confederate constitution differ from that of the United States of America? How was Davis selected? And what happened to him after the war ended?
Don is joined by Aaron Sheehan-Dean, Professor at Louisiana State University and editor of a number of books on this subject.
Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
