In 1979 Robert Penn Warren returned to his native Todd County,
Kentucky, to attend ceremonies in honor of another native son,
Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, whose United States
citizenship had just been restored, ninety years after his death,
by a special act of Congress. From that nostalgic journey grew this
reflective essay on the tragic career of Jefferson Davis - "not a
modern man in any sense of the word but a conservative called to
manage what was, in one sense, a revolution". Jefferson Davis Gets
His Citizenship Back is also a meditation by one of our wisest and
most beloved men of letters on the ironies of American history and
the paradoxes of the modern South.
