The Montgomery Convention marked the formal beginning of the Confederate States of America. Convened in Montgomery, Alabama, and opening on February 4, 1861, the Convention organized a provisional government for the Confederacy and created the Constitution of the Confederate States of America.

The Convention named Jefferson Davis of Mississippi as provisional President of the Confederate States of America and Alexander Stephens of Georgia as Vice-President. The Convention also set dates for a formal election for these offices; both Davis and Stephens were elected without opposition.
