I'm embarrassed to even reference this but I will anyway. In the North and South miniseries, Davis argues the necessity of a strong central government as a necessary wartime measure. I believe this is historically accurate.

But made me wonder. If the CSA won, did Davis envision his government running like the Articles of Confederation? Or would he be happy with a permanent, strong central government in Richmond, but "Southerners governing Southerners", which would be less objectionable to his constituents than the DC led Federal government they were leaving?
