Description: 2 vol set Ever wondered what was on Jefferson Davis's mind during "the War Between the States?" These two volumes will give you some insight to Jefferson Davis's thinking and leadership decisions. It includes illustrations and maps of the battle plans. In his words: "The object of this work has been from historical data to show that the Southern States had rightfully the power to withdraw from a Union into which they had, as sovereign communities voluntarily entered; that the denial of that right was a violation of the letter and spirit of the compact between the States; and that the war waged by the Federal Government against the seceding States was in disregard of the limitations of the constitution, and destructive of the principles of the Declaration of Independence." The author "has sought to furnish material for the future historian." "African servitude at that time was not confined to a section, but was numerically greater in the South than in the North,..the Constitution...bound all the States to recognize and protect that species of property." Read these two volumes to "hear the other side of the story" and listen to understand, and yet, still strongly disagree with Davis!
