Synopsis

Subtitled "A Confederate Primer," this little book covers a wide range of subjects in short, succinct chapters on the true causes of the war, the historical and economic background behind Southern slavery, the usurpations and deceptions of Abraham Lincoln, State sovereignty and the right of secession, the sterling character of such Confederate leaders as Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, and much more.

About the Author

John Shipley Tilley was born in Conyers, Georgia in 1880. He earned his M.A. at Harvard and went on to become a successful attorney in Alabama. The grandson of a Confederate veteran, Tilley was a strong defender of the Southern cause, authoring two other books on the subject of the War Between the States: Lincoln Takes Command, which examines the historical details behind the Fort Sumter affair, and The Coming of the Glory, a study of the history of slavery in the United States, State sovereignty and the right of secession, and the events of the War and Reconstruction. He passed away in Montgomery, Alabama in 1968.
