Firsthand source. It is easy to see why he was not put on trial for treason as was originally intended. Jefferson Davis may very well have prevailed in court and so created a monumental northern political dilemma: the unconstitutional invasion of southern states. Even if one does not share the Confederate point of view, this remarkable book explains constitutional positions rarely taught in public schools. Indispensable primary source for any study of the War for Southern Independence.Product details

The rise and fall of the Confederate government Jefferson Davis 9781293834718 Books Reviews
I liked reading about this from J. Davis' point of view. I still realize that it all comes down to the south wanting to consider slaves as property. Still a very educational read.
Reading this book made me realize (about a quarter of the way through) that my parents ought to get all their property taxes refunded to them, which ostensibly went toward "educating" kids in the public school I went to. It's not just that I didn't know this stuff after receiving multiple diplomas that proved I had been schooled. It's that I didn't know how much I didn't know. Americans will not know the riveting, counter-culture, counter-political-correctness, unsanitized truths of our history if we don't take it upon ourselves to read it ourselves. If all you know about the Civil War is what you got in elementary school, you know nothing, and what you don't know can in fact hurt you, as the result of these things is progressive loss of liberty even in our day. There is a straight line connecting the events of Jefferson Davis' day to our own.
This is a must read for every man, woman and child in America. True documents from history, such as this, show just how many lies we have been fed by the history-writers. The men of the South were NOT fighting for slavery, as we have all been taught. In fact, they had been working to phase it out gradually. Good ol' Abe "weird beard" Lincoln, however, saw an opportunity to expand the power of government by force, and used the ruse of slavery to garner support.
I am not commenting on what is actually written in this book. But the publishing job (Pantianos Classics) is terrible.
1. The book is huge. Not thick, but huge. Its 8.5 by 11 inches. This is too large for most bags. It would have been far better had they shrunk the book down and made it far thicker.
2. The spacing. Because this is book is huge, lines are really long. This makes it very difficult to read as one oftens finds themselves losing their place in the middle of a line.
3. The font is too big. It's around size 14. If it were shrunk down to 12 or 11, the book could be far smaller.
This book should be reprinted in a more compact form.
The only positive about this printing is that the cover looks pretty cool.
I think most people miss out on this work because the Confederacy was "wrong" and is so closely (and justifiably) identified with the evils of slavery. But read as a history and an exploration of the constitution and the intent of the founders as explained by the voice of the most important constitutional crisis in our history, this work is invaluable.
Right or wrong, slavery was protected by the constitution and slaves were simply viewed as property. When Davis considers the view the federal Government took toward that particular property, we see the beginnings of the erosion of all property rights and all other constitutional rights. The issue isn't whether slavery was terrible...it was. The issue is whether congress had a right to disregard the constitution without making an effort to change it and whether secession was legal when the Federal Government began disregarding the needs of the states.
No other book addresses these ideas with the authority that Jefferson Davis possesses by virtue of his great patriotic service to the Republic and his discovery that the Republic was failing its obligations to his home state.
Hoping whoever 'Pantianos Classics' is did a trustworthy job of maintaining accuracy of Davis's words. The back cover of this 8x11 paperback destroys their credibility for scholarly production, as the entire second paragraph of their text is "The principle text is split into four parts" Anyone who confuses pal and ple is no scholar.
Firsthand source. It is easy to see why he was not put on trial for treason as was originally intended.
