<br/><br/> "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Volume 2" by Jefferson Davis is a historical work published in 1881. Written by the former President of the Confederate States, this massive two-volume work defends the Confederacy's formation and argues for the constitutional and moral justification of secession.
