Secession on Trial: The Treason Prosecution of Jefferson Davis - Studies in Legal History
Nicoletti, Cynthia (University of Virginia)
This book focuses on the post-Civil War treason prosecution of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which was seen as a test case on the major question that animated the Civil War: the constitutionality of secession. The case never went to trial because it threatened to undercut Union victory.
