Confederate States peace commission
On February 15, 1861, the newly formed Congress of the Confederate States of America adopted a resolution〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Confederate States of America - A Resolution for the Appointment of Commissioners to the Government of the United States of America )〕 empowering the President-elect Jefferson Davis to appoint a commission of three men to negotiate “friendly relations” with the federal government of the United States. On February 25, newly inaugurated President Davis chose Martin J. Crawford of Georgia, John Forsyth of Alabama, and Andre B. Roman of Louisiana to serve as commissioners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Confederate States of America - Message to Congress February 25, 1861 )〕 On February 27, President Davis wrote a letter〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Confederate States of America - Letter of President Davis to President Lincoln February 27, 1861 )〕 to Abraham Lincoln, President-elect of the United States, introducing the commissioners as representatives of the government of the Confederate States. The commission was not received by Lincoln. On March 12, a letter〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Confederate States of America - Confederate Commissioners to Secretary Seward March 12, 1861 )〕 was sent to William H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, introducing the commissioners and explaining their peaceful intent. The commission was not received by Seward. On March 15, the commission filed a memorandum〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Confederate States of America - Memorandum of March 15, 1861 )〕 which outlined how they had been ignored by Seward and Lincoln. The commissioners were rejected because acceptance of the commission would be recognition of the Confederate States of America.
