"One of the bloodiest conflicts ever to take place on American soil, the Civil War pitted brother against brother as North and South fought to secure their futures. Confederate president Jefferson Davis's 1881 memoir, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government is a history of the Confederate States of America and a vindication of the Southern cause. While Rise and Fall disappointed Davis's hopes of restoring his fortune, destroyed during and after the war, it was successful in rehabilitating his image in the minds of Southerners, and led to the eventual reinstatement of his American citizenship in 1978.

"A decade after his release from federal prison, the 67-year-old Jefferson Davis - ex-president of the Confederacy - began work on his monumental Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. Motivated partially by his deep-rooted antagonism toward his enemies (both the Northern victors and his Southern detractors), partially by his continuing obsession with the "cause," and partially by his desperate pecuniary and physical condition, Davis spent three years and did extensive research to write of what he termed, "an historical sketch of the events which preceded and attended the struggle of the Southern states to maintain their existence and their rights as sovereign communities." The result was a two-volume chronicle, covering the birth, life, and death of the Confederacy, from the Missouri Compromise in 1820, through the tumultuous events of the Civil War, to the readmission of the Southern states to the U.S. Congress in the late 1860s."
"Jeffreson Davis was the first and only President of the Confederacy. After noting his rise to the top of the confederate government, Davis tries to defend the abstract reasons for the south's succession. While his ideas, such as deeming America's practice of slavery tame, have been mostly discreditedhe clearly describes Lost Cause's experience of the Civil Warfrom his federal prison cell."
