The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government is a book
written by Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America
during the American Civil War. Davis wrote the book as a straightforward history
of the Confederate States of America and as an apologia for the causes that he
believed led to and justified the American Civil War. Most of the book was
written at Beauvoir, the Biloxi, Mississippi home where he lived as a guest of
novelist Sarah Ellis Dorsey and which she later leased and eventually bequeathed
to him. He was assisted by several people in its formulation, most notably his
wife, Varina, his secretary Major W.T. Walthall, and Mrs. Dorsey, and
corresponded voluminously with surviving Confederate statesmen and generals
including Judah Benjamin and Jubal Early for fact checking and details on key
issues, though it is believed that the writing of the book was done primarily by
Davis himself.
