The Quotable Jefferson Davis - By Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook

Description: The Quotable Jefferson Davis: Selections From the Writings & Speeches of the Confederacy's First PresidentBy Lochlainn SeabrookShips the next business dayEdition: 1st, Civil War Sesquicentennial EditionEdition: Length: 120 pages; Illustrated HardcoverWho was America's most important Civil War president? For those of us who live in the South it wasn't Abraham Lincoln, it was Jefferson Davis. If you're not as familiar with Davis as you are with Lincoln, it's not surprising: when the Northern victors rewrote the history of the Civil War, they glorified liberal Lincoln while all but ignoring conservative Davis - a biased trend that continues to this day. In this one-of-a-kind Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, "The Quotable Jefferson Davis," award-winning author, Southern historian, and Davis family relation, Lochlainn Seabrook, brings the Rebel leader's forgotten words and ideas back to life; traditional American beliefs that were once ardently embraced by over half of the United States. Included here, in some 300 footnoted entries, are examples of Davis' core views on government, the Constitution, the Union, states' rights, slavery, secession, his presidency, the War, the Confederacy, the Southern people, Lincoln, Yankees, Reconstruction, and more. Though brief, this is a significant work that should be required reading in every American home and school. For with the original intention of the Founding Fathers quickly disappearing (that, in Davis' words, "sovereignty is inherent in the people"), and with the central government continuing to enlarge on a daily basis, this book's powerful message and revolutionary contents are now more topical than at any time since President Davis took office in 1861. An attractive, unique, affordable work that will appeal to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore academicians alike.Foreword by Percival BeacroftFive Star Amazon Review: "This is a book every Civil War buff - pro-North or pro-South - should have because it reveals in Jefferson Davis' own words what he truly believed about the War, the Constitution, and life in the Old South. Instead of having conventional historians interpret what the CSA's first and only President was like, read this book and find out what Davis really said." - Andrew MurdaughPublished by Sea Raven Press, Beautifully designed, educational books with a vintage vibe.
