    About this ebook

    Jeffreson Davis was the first and only President of the Confederacy. After noting his rise to the top of the confederate government, Davis tries to defend the abstract reasons for the south’s succession. While his ideas, such as deeming America’s practice of slavery “tame,” have been mostly discredited—he clearly describes Lost Cause’s experience of the Civil War—from his federal prison cell.
