Book Description
Excerpt from Civil History of the Government of the Confederate States: With Some Personal Reminiscences I propose in this volume to write of the origin of the Confederate Government, and somewhat of the civil history, interspersing the narrative with a few personal reminiscences. Of the members of the first session of the Pro visional Congress, who framed the Provisional Constitution, organized the government, elected the President and vice-president, only two sur vivhudge Campbell, of Mississippi, and my self. A few who came in at a later day still live. It is foreign from my plan to write of the mili tary achievements and the Splendid services of the army, lessening daily in numbers from sick ness and battle, as this is a matter of military rather than of political history. Many volumes have recorded these glorious deeds. The skill of captains, the endurance and gallantry of those who, amid the weary waiting for help which never came, accomplished marvels of manhood and patriotism, are now slowly acknowledged.

Look Away!

Pages : 497
Book Description
William C. Davis, one of America's best Civil War historians, here offers a definitive portrait of the Confederacy unlike any that has come before. Drawing on decades of writing and research among an unprecedented number of archives, Look Away! tells the story of the Confederate States of America not simply as a military saga (although it is that), but rather as a full portrait of a society and incipient nation. The first history of the Confederacy in decades, the culmination of a great scholar's career, Look Away! combines politics, economics, and social history to set a new standard for its subject. Previous histories have focused on familiar commanders such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but Davis's canvas is much broader. From firebrand politicians like Robert Barnwell Rhett and William L. Yancey, who pushed for secession long before the public supported it; to Dr. Samuel Cartwright, who persuaded many Southerners of the natural inferiority of their slaves; to the women of Richmond, who rioted over bread shortages in 1863, Davis presents a rich new face of the Confederate nation. He recounts familiar stories of battles won and lost, but also little-known economic stories of a desperate government that socialized the salt industry, home-front stories of the rangers and marauders who preyed on their fellow Confederates, and an account of the steady breakdown of law, culminating in near anarchy in some states. Never has the Confederacy been so vividly brought to life as a full society, riven with political and economic conflicts beneath its more loudly publicized military battles. Davis's astonishingly thorough primary research has ranged across the 800-odd newspapers that were in operation during the war, but also across the personal papers of over a hundred Southern leaders and ordinary citizens. He quotes from letters and diaries throughout the narrative, revealing the Confederacy through the words of the Confederates themselves. Like any society, especially in the early stages of nation-building and the devastating stages of warfare, the Confederacy was not one thing but many things to many people. One thing, however, was shared by all: the belief that the South offered a necessary evolution of American democracy. Look Away! offers a dramatic and definitive account of one of America's most searing episodes.
