In the aftermath of the Civil War, federal officials imprisoned and indicted Jefferson Davis for treason. Although the federal government pursued the charges, the case never went to trial. This book argues that while national politics played a role in the trial's direction, the actions of lesser-known individuals resulted in the failure to convict.
