Jefferson Davis After the War
These words are attributed to Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States of America. Davis was a West Point graduate, a hero of the Mexican War, a United States Senator from Mississippi and a former Secretary of War before he led the Confederacy.
After the war, Davis was captured in Georgia and held for two years at Fort Monroe in Virginia. He was charged with treason, but the case never went to trial, and he was released on bail in 1867. He spent his final years at Beauvoir, his home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where he wrote his account of the war, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government.
What He Meant
Davis believed that the principles the South had fought for, especially the rights of the states and the limits on federal power, did not die at Appomattox. In his view, the fight would simply move from the battlefield to the courts, the legislatures and the pages of history.
Many Southerners today still feel the same way about defending their history and heritage. That debate continues in town halls and state capitols across the country.
