well considering jefferson davis was never the president of the u.s. but the confederacy, i would go with thomas jefferson. it was through jefferson's brilliance that we made the louisiana purchase, slashed army and navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey, and reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval squadron to fight the barbary pirates, who were harassing american commerce in the mediterranean. jefferson davis did nothing to better either the u.s. or the confederacy.
Reply:Thomas Jefferson. TJ contributed many things to America. He signed the Louisiana Purchase, sent the Lewis %26amp; Clark team out to explore the American Northwest and he contributed to the Declaration of Independence. His contributions to science and nature are many. He was even an inventor. He is also the founder of the University of Virginia and a huge supporter of education and learning. He helped to establish democratic laws in the newly independent colonies and served his country as a member of the Virginia legislature, a member of Congress, Minister to France and Secretary of State.


Jefferson Davis on the other hand was not a capable leader. As president of the Confederate States, he neglected domestic policies and could not manage opposition in the congress. Davis was a poor judge of character and did not make use of talented men that he did not like simply because he did not like them. After the Cnfederate States fell, Davis was charged with treason and spent two years in prison.
Reply:Thomas Jefferson. The Guy wasn't perfect, but He did a lot to advance America during His tenure.


Jefferson Davis had His Nation's best interests at heart but He was a horrifically bad micromanager who interfered in Military Strategy way too much, and as a president He was too autocratic and overbearing. Great question.
