In this essay, New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming recounts the shocking death of Union General William "Bull" Nelson at the hands of fellow Union general, Jefferson C. Davis. Yet Davis didn't serve one day in prison for the shooting. Instead, he was allowed to resume his military career as if no crime had been committed. Modern-day readers who decry political wrangling and interference by lobbyists may be surprised to learn that even Abraham Lincoln and his fellow legislators were not immune to political pressure.
