Who was America's most important Civil War president? For those of us who live in the South it wasn't Abraham Lincoln, it was Jefferson Davis. If you're not as familiar with Davis as you are with Lincoln, it's not surprising: when the Northern victors rewrote the history of the Civil War, they glorified liberal Lincoln while all but ignoring conservative Davis - a biased trend that continues to this day.
In this one-of-a-kind Civil War Sesquicentennial edition, The Quotable Jefferson Davis: Selections from the Writings and Speeches of the Confederacy's First President, award-winning author, Southern historian, and Davis family relation, Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, brings the Rebel leader's forgotten words and ideas back to life; traditional American beliefs that were once ardently embraced by over half of the United States, and much of Europe as well. Included here, in some 300 footnoted entries, are examples of Davis' core views on government, the Constitution, the Union, states' rights, slavery, secession, his presidency, the War, the Confederacy, the Southern people, Lincoln, Yankees, Reconstruction, and more.
Though brief, this is a significant work that should be required reading in every American home and school. For with the original intention of the Founding Fathers quickly disappearing (that, in Davis' words, "sovereignty is inherent in the people"), and with the central government continuing to enlarge on a daily basis, this book's powerful message and revolutionary contents are now more topical than at any time since President Davis took office in 1861. An attractive, unique, affordable, and popular tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore academicians alike, The Quotable Jefferson Davis is the perfect addition to any retail outlet, including Civil War sites, historic houses, and museum gift stores. The foreword is by Percival Beacroft, B.A., J.D. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Acclaimed Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, a descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens and John S. Mosby, is the most prolific and popular Southern writer-historian in the world today. Known as the "new Shelby Foote," he is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the author and editor of nearly 100 educational books that have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of mainstream works. Colonel Seabrook has a forty-five year background in American and Southern history and is the editor of Sea Raven Press' facsimile reprint of Davis' two-volume Southern classic, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. He is also the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
