Who was elected as President and Vice President of the Confederacy?

The choice identifies Jefferson Davis as the President of the Confederacy, a position he held throughout the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865. He was a former U.S. Senator from Mississippi and was selected largely due to his military experience and political background. Alexander Stephens served as the Vice President of the Confederacy, and his role was significant during the war. The Confederacy was established in 1861 as a separate government of the Southern states that seceded from the United States, and its leadership was crucial for unifying the states under a common cause of preserving slavery and states’ rights in opposition to the Union.

The other names in the other options do not align with the Confederate leadership: Ulysses S. Grant was a Union general and later became President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln, also a Union leader, abolished slavery and was never affiliated with the Confederacy. Rufus Bullock and Amos T. Akerman were associated with Reconstruction efforts and had no ties to the Confederate government. This context clarifies the historical roles and the importance of Davis and Stephens in the Confederate structure.
