The non-partisan (constitutionalist) Provisional Confederate Congress elects Major General, Jefferson Davis, Commander of the Militia of Mississippi, as provisional President, and former Whig (nationalist) Representative Alexander Stephens, of Georgia, as provisional Vice President. Congress also adopts the “Stars and Bars” as the flag of the Confederacy, and authorizes Davis to raise 100,000 troops.
