1881 Confederate Jefferson Davis 1^ed Rise & Fall Confederacy Slavery Civil War

“I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.”

– Jefferson Davis

Jefferson Davis’s ‘Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government’ was an important book on the history of the Confederate States with a plethora of explanations on the causes that led to the Civil War, particularly slavery. Davis discusses the history of slavery and defended the fundamentals of its morality.

According to Nevins,

This work “…conceals more than it reveals of the inner history of the Confederacy…An argumentative dissertation on secession and states’ rights.”
