The Civil War & Reconstruction Governors of Mississippi is a digital archive that provides access to over 20,000 letters and documents from the governors of Mississippi during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. Hosted by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the project offers insights into the political, social, and military challenges faced by the state during these tumultuous times.
The documents include correspondence with Confederate and Union officials, military leaders, and citizens, shedding light on governance, wartime policies, and post-war reconstruction efforts. The project is a valuable resource for researchers studying the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Southern history.
