傑佛遜‧大衛斯 (Jefferson Davis) 於1865510日被抓了

大衛斯在他所寫「南方聯盟政府的興衰」 (The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government) 一書中提到了他被抓的經過。他被控叛國罪,以及涉嫌行刺林肯總統。大衛斯被帶到維吉尼亞州的門羅堡 (Fort Monroe) ,在那裡遭到嚴苛的對待 。雖然被指控的罪名都很嚴重,但是他卻從來沒有接受審判。入獄兩年之後,大衛斯被釋放,並且淡出政治平靜度過餘生。


Davis recounted his capture in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. He was accused of treason and of planning the assassination of President Lincoln. Davis was taken to Fort Monroe, Virginia, where he was treated harshly. Although he was accused of high crimes, he was never brought to trial. After two years in prison, he was released and lived out the rest of his life in relative peace.
