The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Volume 1 by Jefferson Davis
"The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Volume 1" by Jefferson Davis is a two-volume historical work published in 1881.

a significant but controversial document of Lost Cause ideology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
