1873 Confederate States presidential election (Dixieland)

The 1873 Confederate States presidential election of November 8, 1873, was the third presidential election held under the Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America. After Davis’ second term expired, a lot of candidates competed to be his successor. Four candidates ran but nobody could defeat Vice President Alexander H. Stephens, who was the current Vice President to Davis. Eventually, Stephens won in a landslide victory and became the first sitting Vice President to become President and eventually, the first and so far only Vice President to be elected to two twelve-year terms right after their predecessor won two terms.
