Best Answer

The Confederate Constitution was modeled after the US Constitution with the major exception of legalizing slavery. Also, the term of the Confederate president was limited to a six year term. With that said, the Confederate Constitution mirrored the US's with the president performing the duties of the Commander in Chief. Davis however, saw his role differently. For Davis, he decided to act not only as commander in chief, but also as the general in chief. The Confederate Congress created the position of general in chief, however, Davis never filled it until 1865 when he named Lieutenant Robert E. Lee as general in chief.
