On February 4, 1861, representatives from 6 of the seceded states assembled in Montgomery, Alabama, to organize the Confederate States of America. At this time, the representatives drafted a provisional constitution and declared a provisional legislature. They selected Jefferson Davis to serve as their president. The provisional congress continued to meet in Montgomery until May 20, 1861, when the provisional capital moved to Richmond, Virginia. A permanent government and constitution were ratified for the Confederate States of America in 1862. The government was divided into a Senate and House of Representatives. The Congress of the CSA remained in session until the end of the Civil War.
