| Summary | "Four Years in Rebel Capitals" by T. C. De Leon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work offers an intimate and observational narrative of life within the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War, reflecting on the social dynamics, political atmosphere, and personal experiences from 1861 to 1865. Through the author's eyes, readers are drawn into the complexities of a nation at war, witnessing the resilience and challenges faced by the Southern people. The opening of the book sets the stage in Washington, D.C., during the critical prelude to the Civil War, where the societal split between the two circles of Washington society is vividly described. The author captures the tension in the air as secessionist sentiments grow and prominent figures begin to grapple with the impending conflict. This initial segment elaborates on various characters, including political lobbyists, socialites, and military figures, as they navigate life amid rising national hysteria, culminating in a sense of foreboding as the Southern states make their move toward independence. De Leon's reflections on the cultural and political environment provide a rich backdrop to the personal stories sure to unfold in the subsequent chapters.
