He distinguishes himself in the Mexican War and returns a hero. Davis then serves his country in the Senate, as Secretary of War and in the late 1850s, with the stirrings of secession abounding, Davis tries to keep the fledgling nation together but at the end, Davis must side with his home state of Mississippi and departs his beloved Washington City...forever.
