About this listen

Former Confederate President Jefferson Davis penned "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government" in 1881, offering a historical perspective and justification for the Confederacy's formation and actions during the Civil War. While serving as a valuable primary source for understanding Confederate leadership's motivations, the work is also recognized for its biased defense of the Confederacy and its "Lost Cause" narrative.

not what I expected

It's reads more like a legal brief: President Davis obviously was a very well educated man, he gives a legal argument for the leaving of the South from the Union. There are many historical facts listed. Not having a legal background it was hard for me to follow.
