Published in 1960, this study of the Confederate Congress and
its relation to the Jefferson Davis administration describes the
legislation, debates, personalities, and politics of this turbulent
time. Initially, the Confederate Congress and President Davis were
in agreement on how to win the war and lawmaking proceeded in a
routine manner. However, as the war progressed conflicts arose as
Congress and the President were faced with the difficulties of
providing a poor nation with the facilities to combat a richer one.
Much of the later legislation was written only after bitter
political controversy. An appendix gives brief biographical data on
the Confederate congressmen, including their voting records on the
Davis administration proposals.
