Visual Culture Analysis of The Last Ditch of the Chivalry, or a President in Petticoats

This lithograph is a Northern depiction of the capture of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Titled The Last Ditch of the Chivalry, or a President in Petticoats , and picturing Davis in a woman’s dress and bonnet, the Northern press painted Davis as a coward. Rather than being a man and standing up to the Union troops, Davis disguised himself as a woman and attempted to cowardly escape. Although in actuality Davis was wearing a rain jacket and shawl rather than a full dress and bonnet, the Northern press mocked him. This piece demonstrates the prominence of male Southern honor, and how the ideals of being a man contradicted with the expectations for women. Davis’ flee also symbolizes the fall of the Confederacy

Response to “A rose by any other name” published in the 2014 July edition of the Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine

Dear Sir, We are grateful for the opportunity to reply to the comments made by Dr Davis. Our paper was developed in response to the common misunderstanding among forensic physicians of the roles of witnesses in the criminal courts and following reflection on the decision in Jones v Kaney. We indeed sympathise with Dr Davis' view that doctors who the courts recognise as “forensic physicians” should already have “prior knowledge and understanding of most of the information” outlined in our article

Jeff Davis, a Sour Apple Tree, and Treason: A Case Study of Fear in the Post-Civil War Era

The end of the Civil War raised many questions, one being how to piece back together the violently torn apart Union. With such an unprecedented war in American history, the exact course of how to do so was unknown. Would the country survive through Reconstruction, and how would sectional reconciliation be achieved? An even larger question was who to blame for the four long years of violence. In the minds of many northerners, that man was Jefferson Davis. Davis had not only led the secessionist movement, but was a traitor to the Union. By analyzing the calls for and against Jefferson Davis’s trial and execution, the fear and uncertainty over the Union’s future that existed in 1865 and years after depicted the conflicting and paradoxical ways to heal a nation
