"Decisively refuting all the old slanders, the authors give us back
the real Davis-a patriotic soldier, a reluctant secessionist, the model
of a Christian gentleman, and an inspiration to all Americans, North and
South."
Thomas Fleming, editor
Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture
Jefferson Davis, captured, imprisoned, and charged with
1)
conspiracy and culpability in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln; 2)
conspiracy to cause the deaths of Northern P.O.W.'s at Andersonville,
Georgia, a detention camp; 3) participating in and attempting to assist in
the growth of the system of slavery; and 4) treason against the United
States of America, was never afforded his constitutional right to a trial.
Now Jefferson Davis will have his day in court as the
authors present the evidence to the jury-their readers.
