The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (Vol. 1&2) : Historical Account of the Confederate States of America

The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government by Jefferson Davis provides a historical account of the Confederate States of America during the tumultuous era of the American Civil War. Serving as the President of the Confederacy, Davis offers a firsthand perspective on the complex political and moral justifications that led to the formation of the Southern states and the subsequent Civil War. In this thought-provoking work, Davis draws parallels between the events that shaped the Confederacy and the American Revolution, exploring constitutional and ethical dimensions that remained central to the historical narrative. This book stands as both a historical record and an articulate apologia, shedding light on the rise, fall, and the intricate moral considerations of the Confederate Government.
