The early Confederation lacked any kind of central Federal structure. The member States did not want to replace the former Federal government with a new version of the same thing, so they selected one of the State Governors to act as President of the Confederation. They chose Governor John Jefferson Freemon of Virginia, and the Virginia Defense Force became the closest thing they had to a Confederation army in the years that followed. Just as Lexington became the effective capital. He retired in time, and the Governor of Florida became the new Confederation President. Florida provided the core of the Confederation army, and a new temporary capital. By the time that Governor retired, each Member State of the Confederation was expected to provide a single regiment to fill out the Confederation Army, and a new town to govern from when their time came.
