Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 - March 28, 1969) was the 16th Vice President of the Confederate States of America, serving under President Hull. Eisenhower twice served as a Confederate States senator from Sequoyah and was the state's 6th Governor. In 1951, he was selected as the Democratic Party nominee for president; however, he narrowly lost to Whig Party nominee George Marshall in the 1951 Confederate Presidential election. He is often referred to as one of the most influential people in the history of Confederate politics.
