IS DAVIS A TRAITOR? Or Was Secession A Constitutional Right Previous to the War of 1861?

2005 reprint of original 1866 edition. Discussion on the right to secession with reference to the past; in order to vindicate the character of the South for loyalty, and to wipe off the charges of treason and rebellion from the names and memories of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sydney Johnston, Robert E. Lee and of all those who have fought or suffered in the great war of coercion. Admitting, then, that the right to secession no longer exists, this work aims to show despite the actions of these men they were nevertheless, perfectly loyal to truth, justice, and the Constitution of 1787 as it came from the hands of the fathers.
