The autumn of 1863 was a trying time for Jefferson Davis. Even
as he expressed unwavering confidence about the eventual success of
the Confederate movement, he had to realize that mounting economic
problems, low morale, and rotating army leadership were threatening
the welfare of the new nation. Less than a year after the October
1863 Confederate victory at Chickamauga, the South relinquished
Atlanta to Sherman.
During the tumultuous eleven months chronicled in Volume 10,
Davis retained his fervor for southern nationalism as he struggled
furiously to command a war and maintain a government. As the
letters contained here illustrate, he soldiered bravely on.
