He didn't want to be. He was hoping to be General-in-Chief.

But he was 'kicked upstairs', because he looked like the good face of slave-owning. (He treated his slaves so well, they didn't want their freedom.) The Confederate government thought this would encourage free nations abroad to grant recognition to the Confederacy and send military aid.
