Peace hopes and Confederate stance at Richmond interview
A July 16 rendezvous near Richmond recounts two Union officers meeting with President Jefferson Davis and Secretary Benjamin at the Confederate capital. Davis, resolute on independence, rejects armistice and terms beyond self-government while urging peace only if the Union concedes. The exchange reveals deep mutual distrust and the demand to end the war or face extermination.
