He was president of the Confederacy, and caused one major reason for the Civil War: he wanted to secede from the United States (along with the rest of the South), but Abraham Lincoln couldn’t let him do that. This arguement lead straight to the Civil War. There were other reasons, of course, but those don’t have to do much with Jefferson Davis.
