Jefferson Davis and Repudiation in Mississippi is a historical non-fiction book written by John Douglass Van Horne. The book explores the controversial topic of repudiation in Mississippi during the late 19th century and the role that former Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, played in it. Repudiation refers to the refusal of a state to pay its debts, and Mississippi was one of several southern states that engaged in this practice after the Civil War. Van Horne examines the political and economic climate in Mississippi during this time, as well as the personal and professional life of Jefferson Davis. He argues that Davis played a significant role in the state's decision to repudiate its debts, and that his actions were motivated by a desire to protect the interests of wealthy landowners and businessmen. The book also delves into the broader historical context of the post-Civil War South, including the Reconstruction era, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the struggle for civil rights. Van Horne draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and government documents, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this complex period in American history. Overall, Jefferson Davis and Repudiation in Mississippi offers a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of a little-known aspect of southern history, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of the Civil War and its aftermath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
