Don Partridge

Donald "Don" Partridge was a Freedom Party politician, a former Senator from Tennessee, Vice President of the Confederate States of America from 1939 to 1944 during the Featherston Administration, and the last President of the Confederate States.

Partridge replaced the disgraced Willy Knight after the latter's coup attempt was crushed by Jake Featherston in December 1938. Partridge was considered by most commentators (and by Featherston himself) to be a lightweight, a nobody, and harmless in regards to political ambition, which suited Featherston fine. The Vice President spent most of his time with well-to-do ladies or telling bad jokes to Featherston, as his function as President of the Senate was very minimal.

Following Featherston's death in 1944, Partridge became the 14th and last President of the Confederate States. He traveled to Pineville, North Carolina to sign his country's unconditional surrender, which was accepted by General Irving Morrell on behalf of the United States, and both the office of President and the Confederacy itself ceased to exist. Partridge was taken into custody upon signing the official surrender.
