Never before published, Robert Barnwell Rhett's personal account of the years 1859 through 1865 is the fullest memoir to have survived from any member of South Carolina's Secession Convention and the Confederate Provisional Congress. Like Rhett himself, the writings are opinionated, contentious, arrogant, and unforgiving. They reveal much of Rhett's inside view of the effort to separate from the Union, and they depict his participation in the founding of the Confederacy. William C. Davis illuminates Rhett's role in secession's timing and passage. Davis tells of Rhett's interest in the right of secession as early as 1828 and his outspoken support of disunion fully a quarter~century before 1861. Rhett's recollections recount in vivid detail the framing of the Confederate constitution, the daily activities of the Confederate Congress, and the election of Jefferson Davis as president~a post that Rhett believed he deserved for himself. Rhett became an acknowledged leader of the anti~Davis faction, and his memoir recounts the extent and basis of his opposition to the Confederate president as well as his involvement with dissident generals and politicians who shared an aversion to Jefferson Davis. Presented as Rhett composed it, the volume includes the southerner's thoughts on the nature of free government, his advocacy of free trade, and his gloomy forecast for the future of the Union after war and Reconstruction. Although no portion of this memoir has been published before, it served as a model for such famous Confederates as P G. T Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston, who read parts of it while writing their own personal accounts of the war.…
