An paper on the lives and careers of Confederate military and political leaders from Mississippi after the Civil War, including Jefferson Davis, Lucius Q. C. Lamar, James L. Alcorn, Henry Stuart Foote, Francis Asbury Shoup, Stephen Dill Lee, and various others. The article concludes with the observation that "[i]n the years following Appomattox these men of ability regained their positions of leadership in the political, religious, educational and cultural life of the State . [t]hose who fought under the Southern Cross remained to help and rebuild the state and to direct its destiny." The authors, William B. Hesseltine (1902-1963) and Larry Gara (1922-2019) co-wrote several articles together during at the University of Madison, Wisconsin, Hesseltine served on the faculty and Gara received his PhD in 1963. Both distinguished themselves in both Civil War scholarship and left-wing causes, the former being the 1948 vice-presidential nominee of the American Socialist Party and the latter a prominent peace activist and prison abolitionist.
