Diary of Mary Boykin Chesnut, May 18, 1865
May 19, 1865, Jefferson Davis arrived at Fort Monroe, a military post at Old Point Comfort on the Chesapeake Bay, where he was confined in a heavily guarded casemate under constant surveillance. He would remain imprisoned there for the next two years. Davis’s health deteriorated during his confinement, and the conditions of his imprisonment sparked controversy, drawing sympathy from both national and international observers.
