This Site is dedicated to the writings of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America.
I have taken specific selections in the form of excerpts from the book: "A Short History of the Confederate States of America" by: Jefferson Davis; which I feel will help the reader get some of the main points of interest without having to read through entire books or volumes of amassed writings.
I believe the primary focus of his writings was nicely expressed in his Introduction to his book: A Short History of the Confederate States of America-
"The vindication of the Southern States for their Ordinances of Secession in 1861 involves two considerations, namely: their rightful power to withdraw from the Union into which they had entered by voluntary compact; and the causes that justified the exercise of that power."
Also, highlights of the Davis Presidency will be featured. This Site will be a work in progress, so I encourage and welcome
you to visit and check it periodically.
