"Decisively refuting all the old slanders, the authors give us back the real Davis-a patriotic soldier, a reluctant secessionist, the model of a Christian gentleman, and an inspiration to all Americans, North and South." —Thomas Fleming, editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture Captured, imprisoned, and charged with 1) conspiracy and culpability in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln; 2) conspiracy to cause the deaths of Northern P.O.W.'s at Andersonville, Georgia, a detention camp; 3)participating in and attempting to assist in the growth of the system of slavery; and 4) treason against the United States of America, Jefferson Davis was never afforded his constitutional right to a trial. Now, Davis will have his day in court as the authors present the evidence to the jury—their readers. After hearing the case, readers will be able to cast their ballots on the authors' Web site to determine Davis' guilt or innocence . . . to answer the question: Was Jefferson Davis Right?
