Confederate treason - Confiscation Act of 1862

[BULLDOG]

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]

Most of us already have learned our American History. Gee . . . you think that could be why historical revisionists are having such a tough time shoving revised history down our throats? Fuck Wikipedia, and every asshole who targets the highly malleable minds of our children with history "adjusted" to fit ideological narratives.

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?

 

[IM2]

"Court proceedings for seizure of land and property" from whom? Disloyal citizens? What disloyal citizens? People who had no idea that the Union fell apart under Lincoln's watch and just wanted to be left alone? Did the act also authorize rape, arson and pillage?

The act plainly states the conditions for seizure. The citizens of confederate states became citizens of a foreign country upon secession. Once the confederacy declared war, all bets were off. The union did not fall apart the southern states decided they would rather secede than give up slavery.

Better yet, why don't you join the Taliban. I hear they've made a run on lists of statuary to desecrate.

Such a mature response. Well, mature for a Trump supporter anyway.

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....

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.

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

Apparently you have not learned history. You were taught a revised version of American history that left many things out to fit an ideological narrative. Our children deserve better than what we got.

Slip sliding away. I'm sure you throw enough of that against the wall some amount will stick. Thing is, you're gonna need some new wallpaper.

The truth is difficult for you to accept.

I don't see you saying the same thing to the idiot making that comment about democrats.

"In the years immediately following its surrender to Allied forces in World War II, Germany underwent a much different process from the American South in the wake of the Civil War.

Whereas the vast majority of Confederate civilian and military officials suffered no greater penalty than the confiscation of property and temporary loss of voting rights, in Germany, top military and government officials were tried and sentenced to prison or execution. In the Western zone, U.S. and British administrators established de-Nazification panels and filtered through 16 million questionnaires. They identified 3.5 million former Nazis, many of whom were fired from government posts.

Libraries were stripped of Nazi books and periodicals, fascist newspapers shuttered, and all physical vestiges of the old regime removed and destroyed. In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) criminalized the display of swastikas; the symbol was also scraped and sometimes blown off of buildings. The federal state systematically destroyed statues and monuments, razed many Nazi architectural structures and buried executed military and civilian officials in mass, unmarked graves so that their resting grounds would not become Nazi shrines. "

Why There Are No Nazi Statues in Germany

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed horror at the racist marches that roiled Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend. “It is racist, far-right violence, and clear, forceful action must be taken against it, regardless of where in the world it happens,” she said on German television Monday.

She might have added that such a thing wouldn’t have happened in today’s Germany — because it’s illegal.

While America protects the right of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and other hate groups to hold public rallies and express their views openly, Germany has strict laws banning Nazi symbols and what’s called Volksverhetzung — incitement of the people, or hate speech. Like more than a dozen European countries, Germany also has a law criminalizing Holocaust denial.

And while Confederate statues can be found in many American cities south of the Mason-Dixon Line, there are no statues of Adolf Hitler or Joseph Goebbels gracing public squares in Berlin, let alone Nazi flags or other Nazi art. Public Nazi imagery was long ago destroyed, and swastikas were long since knocked off the walls of Nazi-era buildings. The only Nazi imagery you’ll find is in exhibits devoted to understanding the horror of the period."

Why you see swastikas in America but not Germany

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.
