First White House of the Confederacy

The First White House of the Confederacy refers to the residence in Montgomery, Alabama, where Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States, lived from February to May 1861. This modest home served as the de facto presidential house during the Confederacy's early days, reflecting the temporary nature of the Confederacy's capital before it moved to Richmond, Virginia. Today, the house operates as a museum, showcasing artifacts and providing insight into the Confederate government's functioning and lifestyle during the American Civil War.
