In the recent trivia question 'who ran against Jeff Davis," many (including me) said no one - at least openly.
His election was unanimous both as provisional and permanent President.
There was some talk of Howell Cobb (Ga) Robert Toombs (SC) William Lowndes Yancey, (Alabama) , Alexander H. Stephens, (Ga) Robert Barnwell Rhett, (SC). I can't find any documentation that anyone "ran" against Davis, or was even actively considered.
The trivia master said Robert Toombs. Does anyone have any info substantiating this?
