Summary "The Day of the Confederacy: A Chronicle of the Embattled South" by Nathaniel W. Stephenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities and dynamics of the Confederate States during the American Civil War, detailing the secession movement, the establishment of the Confederate government, and key events that characterized this tumultuous period. At the start of the narrative, the author provides an analysis of the secession movement, outlining its progression and pivotal moments, such as the election of Abraham Lincoln and the subsequent decision by several Southern states to secede from the Union. The opening chapter discusses the initial confusion and debate among Southern states regarding secession, noting the roles of significant political figures like Jefferson Davis and Judah P. Benjamin. Following this, the chapter illustrates the rallying cries of various factions and the rise of the secessionist fervor in states like South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi, culminating in the establishment of the Confederate government and the hunger for independence that would ultimately lead to war.
