Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, is remembered with an inscription on a granite monument that was erected in 1891 in Lee Square, a Civil War memorial park in downtown Pensacola, Florida, USA. Described here as a Soldier, Statesman, Patriot and Christian, Davis was the sole Confederate president during the American Civil War of 1861-65 and was captured by Union forces soon after his armies surrendered. After he died in 1889, this monument was erected with praise for Davis: "The only man in our nation without a country, yet twenty million people mourn his death."
