certificate; ex-Knapp (Scott $1,275).rnThomas Howell Cobb (1815 - 1868) was a southern Democrat and five-term member of the United States House of Representatives and Speaker of the House from 1849 to 1851. He also served as a Secretary of Treasury
under President James Buchanan (1857-1860) and the 40th Governor of Georgia (1851-1853). He is, however, probably best known as one of the founders of the Confederacy, having served as the President of the Provisional Confederate Congress, in which
delegates of the Southern slave states which had declared that they had seceded from the United States created the Confederate States. Cobb served for two weeks between the foundation of the Confederacy and the election of Jefferson Davis as its
first President. This made him, as the Speaker of the Congress, provisional Head of State at this time. (Image1) |
