The Quotable Jefferson Davis Selections From the Writings and Speeches of the Confederacy's First President
Author: Lochlainn Seabrook

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 c... more »onservative Davis. In this one-of-a-kind Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, "The Quotable Jefferson Davis," author, Southern historian, and Davis family relation 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. 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 appeals to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore Civil War scholars alike, "The Quotable Jefferson Davis" is the perfect addition to any retail outlet, including Civil War sites, historic houses, museum gift stores, antique shops, and gun stores. Seabrook, known as the "American Robert Graves" after his celebrated English cousin, is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford and the author of over thirty popular adult and children's books, including "Lincolnology: The Real Abraham Lincoln Revealed in His Own Words"; "A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest"; "Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View"; "The McGavocks of Carnton Plantation: A Southern History"; "Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot"; "Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories: True Tales of the Unexplained From Tennessee's Most Haunted Civil War House!"; and "The Caudills: An Etymological, Ethnological, and Genealogical Study." "The Quotable Jefferson Davis" is Seabrook's eighth book on the War for Southern Independence.
