What were some of the problems Jefferson Davis had to go through?
Jefferson Davis faced many problems in office. First of all, he faced the incessant demands of states righters that despised any centralized control (thus he had trouble taxing, keeping currency value steady, and even raising armies sometimes). He was a man of stubborn principle that refused to conform to public opinion, and as somewhat of a control freak he attempted to direct too many of the operations of the Confederacy. Not to mention the fact that his Confederacy was economically weaker, less populous, and manufacturingly weak.
