When Jefferson Davis & his cabinet fled Richmond during the closing days of the Confederacy, they sought to avoid capture & continue the war. Of course it was in vain. Davis & his family were captured. The Union warders treated him shabbily. The South saw him as a hero, a martyr for the Lost Cause. THE LONG SURRENDER contrasts two of history's most significant figures, Jefferson Davis & Robert E. Lee, & shows how profoundly their contrasting views of the New South affected modern American attitudes.AcknowledgmentsFlight Pursuit Capture PrisonerPhoenixEpilogueA Note on SourcesBibliographical NotesIndex
