" He disavowed any sympathy with the movement but warnedDavis that it was a serious menace. Two other intrigues added to the general political confusion. One ofthese, the "Peace Movement, " will be considered in the next chapter. Theother was closely connected with the alleged conspiracy to depose Davisand set up Lee as dictator. If the traditional story, accepted byable historians, may be believed, William C. Rives, of the ConfederateCongress, carried in January, 1865, to Lee from a congressio...nal cabalan invitation to accept the role of Cromwell. The greatest difficulty inthe way of accepting the tradition is the extreme improbability that anyone who knew anything of Lee would have been so foolish as to make sucha proposal. Needless to add, the tradition includes Lee's refusal tooverturn the Government. There can be no doubt, however, that all theenemies of Davis in Congress and out of it, in the opening months of1865, made a determined series of attacks upon his Administration. Norcan there be any doubt that the popular faith in Lee was used as theirtrump card.
