Hardy Mon, 25 Jun 2012 20:40:48 +0000 http://www.lib.unc.edu/blogs/ncm/?p=18456#comment-834718 You raise a really good point. Within a month’s time, the Confederate government existed in some form in Danville, Virginia; Greensboro, North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Abbeville, South Carolina; and, Washington, Georgia. However, at no time was the entire Confederate government together, except at Charlotte. Full meetings were held in Charlotte by Davis and his cabinet. Plus, the papers from various branches of the War Department were stored in Charlotte, and for a time, the remnants of the Confederate treasury. The Confederate government broke apart in Charlotte, and the meetings that took place after that were fragmentary, often with just Davis and one or two officers or cabinet members. Want to know more? You’ll have to read the book!
