Question: What state was the first permanent President of the Confederate States of America from?
Context: The Attorney General of the Confederate States of America was a member of the Confederate cabinet.  The office of Attorney General of the Confederate States was created by the statute which established the Department of Justice.  By the establishing statute, it was "the duty of the Attorney General to prosecute and conduct all suits in the Supreme Court, in which the Confederate States [was] concerned, and to give his advice and opinion upon questions of law, when required by the President of the Confederate States, or when requested by any of the heads of departments, touching any matters that may concern their departments on subjects before them."  In this respect, his duties were the same as those of the United States Attorney General.  But additionally, he had "supervisory power over the accounts of the marshals, clerks and officers of all the courts of the Confederate States, and all claims against the Confederate States." Jefferson Davis (born Jefferson Finis Davis; June 3, 1808 – December 6, 1889) was an American politician who served as the President of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865.  He was a member of the Democratic Party who represented Mississippi in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives prior to becoming president of the Confederacy.  He was the 23rd United States Secretary of War, serving under U.S. President Franklin Pierce from 1853 to 1857. The Provisional Congress of the Confederate States, also known as the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America, was a congress of deputies and delegates called together from the Southern States which became the governing body of the Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America (CSA) from February 4, 1861, to February 17, 1862.  It sat in Montgomery, Alabama, until May 20, 1861, when it adjourned to meet in Richmond, Virginia, on July 20, 1861.  It added new members as other states seceded and directed the election on November 6, 1861, at which a permanent government was elected. This is a list of Confederate arms manufacturers.  The Confederate States of America was a government set up from 1861 to 1865 by eleven Southern states that had declared their secession from the United States.  The Confederate States Army was the army of the Confederate States of America while the Confederacy existed during the American Civil War.  Companies appearing in this list were manufacturers of arms within the confederate states. On February 15, 1861, the newly formed Congress of the Confederate States of America adopted a resolution empowering the President-elect Jefferson Davis to appoint a commission of three men to negotiate “friendly relations” with the federal government of the United States.  On February 25, newly inaugurated President Davis chose Martin J. Crawford of Georgia, John Forsyth of Alabama, and Andre B. Roman of Louisiana to serve as commissioners.  On February 27, President Davis wrote a letter to Abraham Lincoln, President-elect of the United States, introducing the commissioners as representatives of the government of the Confederate States.  The commission was not received by Lincoln.  On March 12, a letter was sent to William H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, introducing the commissioners and explaining their peaceful intent.  The commission was not received by Seward.  On March 15, the commission filed a memorandum which outlined how they had been ignored by Seward and Lincoln.  The commissioners were rejected because acceptance of the commission would be recognition of the Confederate States of America. The Confederate States Naval Academy was an undergraduate academy in Richmond, Virginia of the Confederate States of America that educated and commissioned officers of the Confederate States Navy.  The CS Naval Academy was established by an act of the Congress of the Confederate States on April 21, 1862 and graduated a number of midshipmen before being disbanded on May 2, 1865 in Abbeville, South Carolina subsequent to the fall of the Confederate States. The Confederate States presidential election of 1861 was the first and only presidential election held under the Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America.  Jefferson Davis, who had been elected President and Alexander H. Stephens, who had been elected Vice President, under the Provisional Confederate States Constitution, were elected to six-year terms (February 22, 1862 – February 22, 1868) as the first permanent President and Vice President of the Confederate States of America.
