TWO VOLUMES.
In Tall Cotton-175: “…a learned defense of what the Civil War proved indefensible…” SP. Nevins II-91: “…elaborate, legalistic argument to vindicate the South…” Howes-938: “Most elaborate and best argument for constitutional validity of the doctrine of states sovereignty and the right of secession.” (Howes rarely adds a narrative to its listings)!
Stephens was very sensitive to criticism and many historians believe he was more “Confederate” in his writings than when he was vice president. Another Confederate MUST!
