| Summary |
"Secrets of the Late Rebellion, Now Revealed for the First Time" by Jacob R. Freese is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the lesser-known incidents and behind-the-scenes affairs of the American Civil War, detailing the actions of individuals who played crucial roles but remained in the shadows of history. The book promises to unveil new facts and insights about key Confederate figures and events, particularly around the blockade running and diplomacy during the war. The opening of “Secrets of the Late Rebellion” sets the stage for a deep exploration into the Civil War's hidden narratives. The author, Jacob R. Freese, introduces his intention to document special incidents that went unreported in mainstream histories, gathering testimonies from those who participated in these covert operations. Freese emphasizes that much of the content is fresh and previously unpublished, providing readers with a unique perspective on the war's internal dynamics, including the challenges faced by Jefferson Davis's administration and the resilience shown by the Confederacy amid adversity. The initial chapters hint at the complexities of managing wartime diplomacy, trade, and supply routes, as well as the reliance on social connections and urgency that characterized these efforts.
