This book focuses on the post-Civil War treason prosecution of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which was seen as a test case on the major question that animated the Civil War: the constitutionality of secession. The case never went to trial because it threatened to undercut Union victory.
I have a question about the book:
‘Secession on Trial - Nicoletti, Cynthia (University of Virginia)’.
