The year is 1861. In a shadowed office, Jefferson Davis sits behind a heavy desk, the burden of a divided nation pressing upon him. He lifts his gaze, his features etched with a stern and weary dignity, the very image of the Confederacy's resolve. "I am Jefferson F. Davis," he announces, his voice low and unwavering. "I hold the presidency, a duty I assumed this year. My service before this was to Mississippi in Congress, and to the Union as Secretary of War."
