Confederate treason - Confiscation Act of 1862

[IM2]

Maybe this is why so many black Americans seemingly have difficulty with life in the US as it is today...they are all caught up in the 1800's...look forward not behind for your sake and the sake of future African Americans....man...enough is enough....get past it....

This IS the history section you stupid bastard.

For those who want to keep the memory of the confederacy alive, understand confederates were considered traitors by the U.S. government. Also some of us need to learn the complete truth of the civil war.

Confiscation Act of 1862

The Confiscation Act was passed on July 17, 1862.[3] The defining characteristic of the act was that it called for court proceedings for seizure of land and property from disloyal citizens (supporters of the Confederacy) in the South as well as the emancipation of their slaves that came under Union control.[2] Under this act, conviction of treason against the U.S. could be punishable by death or carry a minimum prison sentence of five years and a minimum fine of $10,000.[3] This law also stated that any citizen convicted of aiding and abetting any person known to have committed treason against the United States could be imprisoned for up to 10 years and face a maximum fine of $200,000, if convicted.[3] This law specifically targeted the seizure of property of any Confederate military officer, Confederate public office holder, persons who have taken an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy or any citizen of a loyal Union state who has given aid or support to any of the aforementioned traitors to the United States of America.[3] This act helped the Union military because freed slaves could supply the forces with information to gain a strategic advantage over the Confederates.[2]

One slave, March Haynes, began smuggling slaves to the freedom of the Union lines with the help of Union General Quincy Adams Gilmore. In return for his help, Haynes provided Gilmore with "exact and valuable information" on the location of Confederate defenses and the strength of their forces.[2]

I see... You want to go back to the old ways. So that means that Iraq and Afghanistan are now United States territories and the inhabitants are traitors to be put to the sword if they don't agree.

*****SMILE*****

Whitewashing the fact that the South were seen as traitors doesn't have much to do with Iraq or Afghanistan, does it?

Ignoring the laws enacted by the United States after the Civil War that forgave wrongs and made the Confederate veterans to be honored as United States veterans is only telling everyone that the progressives want to go back to the old ways.

Those laws were enacted to help heal and bind the country back together.

Progressives should be careful picking at old wounds. I could just as easily add Japan, Germany, Austria, Italy, and a few other countries to that list for United States territories if we're going back to the old ways.

*****SMILE*****

This is the history section. This is not about going back to old ways.

 

[BULLDOG]

So why don't you educate us all about the historical event that caused so many of those Confederate statues to be erected in the 50s, and 60s, and even later?

Why not they were great men

Comeon, now. I don't think either of us is dumb enough to fall for that. What, other than a response to civil rights gains, could have caused all those statues to be erected at that point?

Lee opened a all black school in his home! After the war, no one was for slavery, you idiots are just propaganda machines..

Right. There was no more animosity toward blacks, and the entire south were ashamed of their part in slavery, and we all lived happily ever after as one big family. Is that what you are trying to say?

Oppression of blacks have only came from towns with democrats running it.. from back then to today..

Ever hear of Vidor Texas?

So laws enacted by Congress and approved by the United States President that say Confederate veterans are to be treated and honored as United States veterans are meaningless to you. If you're going to get upset over a date that a statue was erected I would say that's your issue and so far all you've proven is that you want to create issues over something that was already settled decades ago. Calling the Confederates traitors, wanting to confiscate land and holdings, and pulling down statues of vets who are to be honored as United States veterans by federal law only displays your contempt for a process that was decided on bipartisonally in Congress.

If you want to go back to the old ways and ignore the arbitration agreed upon then by all means let's go back to the old ways.

Rape, pillage, putting people to the sword, confiscating lands, burning to the ground, salting the land, etc, etc, etc,...
