Jefferson Davis Elected President of the Confederate States of America November 6, 1861 Who was president during the Civil War? If you were from a Northern state, you answered Abraham Lincoln. If you were from a Southern state, you may have answered Jefferson Davis. On November 6, 1861, Jefferson Davis was elected president, not of the United States of America but of the Confederate States of America. He ran unopposed and was elected to serve for a six-year term. Davis had already been serving as the temporary president for almost a year.
Quick Answer. Abraham Lincoln was president of the United States during the Civil War, but as The Library of Congress points out, some Southerners considered Jefferson Davis their president. The Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865. Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the war. However, according to the Civil War Trust, the last battle was fought on May 13, 1865, after Lincoln was shot April 14. Vice President Andrew Johnson became president of the United States after Lincoln's assassination.
