The rise and fall of the Confederate government

A history of the Confederate States of America and an apologia for the causes that the author believed led to and justified the American Civil War.

First sentence: THE inauguration of the permanent government, amid the struggles of war, was welcomed by our people as a sign of the independence for which all their sacrifices had been made, and the increased efforts of the enemy for our subjugation were met by corresponding determination on our part to maintain the rights our fathers left us at whatever cost.
