He strongly believed in slavery. He believed that African-Americans were better off into slavery. He thought that they weren't being treated as badly as they were, though. He simply pushed that factor out of his mind; he had better things to worry about. Jefferson also had a temper, and believed that if pushed the right way, war was necessary. He defended himself, and if he got a dirty look, he feel compelled to act and attack them back.

Davis was a strong advocate of the secession and although he was once a loyal US soldier, a graduate of West Point and the US Secretary of War in the 1850's, he was bent on the Southern rebellion.

Jefferson Davis believed in a slavery-based economy and he believed in the loose Constitution interpretation that emancipation was unconstitutional and that states could voluntarily leave the Union. He believed in states rights and in the preservation of the Confederate States.
