HandyDandy: "Alexander Stephens was also arrested for treason and imprisoned after the unconditional surrender."

Thanks.
Seems to me there were very few Confederate leaders imprisoned after the war, but I've never seen a list of who was & for how long.
My guess is Davis & Stephens spent more time in prison than anyone else.

Tell us a little bit about Jefferson Davis' trial, professor.

I think I read recently that the only one arrested, tried and convicted and then hung, in D.C., was the guy in charge at Andersonville Prison during the War.
