During his lifetime, Jesse James was celebrated chiefly by former Confederates, to whom he appealed directly in his letters to the press. Indeed, some historians credit his contributing to the rise of Confederates to dominance in Missouri politics (in the 1880s, for example, both U.S. Senators from the state were identified with the Confederate cause). James's turn to crime after the end of Reconstruction helped cement his place in American memory as a simple but remarkably effective bandit.
