"In addition, innovations in the Confederate Constitution gave the new government more power in some respects than the U.S. government had. The president was limited to one term, but that term was for six years. Thus he may have had more opportunity to implement his policies than his counterpart in Washington."

It was sore from shaking hands with numerous people at a reception held the night before. Belle

 

[connyankee]

The President got sore by shaking "thousands of hands" at a Reception in Richmond.

 

[raggedrebel]

The shaking of hands with thousands of people in Richmond at the reception he hosted.

From 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on January, 1, 1862, Jefferson Davis welcomed callers to the Executive Mansion. He greeted each visitor, that's the cause of his sore right hand...

 

[sgtabj]

My guess on this one is that his hand was sore from New Year's Eve shaking hands....Mary Chesnut mentions that this was the case on 1 Jan. 1864....
In Dec. of '61 Davis was spending his first Christmas and New Year in Richmond...had just celebrated the birth of a son...fwas officially elected president of the Confederacy....was in the "honeymoon" of his administration...Probably a lot more people were willing to shake his hand in '61 than in '64....

 

[lorrierivette]

"His hand was tired from shaking hands with the thousands of guests that came to the New Year's Eve reception he gave in Richmond Virginia."
