History, it's said, is written by the winners. Thus, one must look long and hard to find an account of the Civil War from the South's perspective. What was the primary cause for their secession and rebellion? When fewer than one in seven that fought owned slaves it was clearly not to preserve the institution. Why then? The reader may find it interesting that the South's president, Jefferson Davis -- from whose 1890 book "A Short History of the Confederate States of America" introductory chapters are included -- likened the South's struggle for independence with the country's break from Britain four score earlier. Written in 1895 for younger audiences, "History of the War for Southern Independence: The Story of the Confederate States" offers a rare perspective on what the North called “The Great Rebellion.” Handier than the free PDFs on the web, this you can hold, bookmark, highlight and shelve. An inexpensive imperative for any history buff.

History of the War for Southern Independence: The Story of the Confederate States

DAVIS, JEFFERSON

Whatever your position on the War Between the States, this is a classic piece of history worth having in any home. The author is a master of his subject; he begins with the formation of the United States and the constitutional principles that made this country different from all other countries in world history. He proceeds to cover the political developments in the North and South that led to irreconcilable differences between the different regions. Undeniable truthts, untainted by revisionist historians are found in this volume, from original source materials. Agree with Derry's conclusions or not, no one can read this book without forming a deep, abiding respect for the southern soldiers and citizenry, a people who pressed on despite overwhelming hardships; and a book which will show the reader that many issues distant from slavery were the real root of this war.
