Sinossi

Excerpt from Digest of Election Cases: Cases of Contested Election in the House of Representatives From 1865 to 1871, Inclusive

From nearly the commencement of the rebellion till the appearance of the federal fleet under Commodore Farragut before the city of New Orleans in April, 1862, the State had been overrun by the rebel armies, and the governor had traitorously abandoned his duty and p0st,1eav ing the people without loyal government, and delivered over to the rebellion. Upon the taking possession of New Orleans by General But ler 011 the first of May following, he issued a proclamation, in which, among other things, he invited all persons well disposed toward the government of the United States to renew their oath of allegiance, and promised to such the protection of the armies of the United States. Under this proclamation sixty-one thousand three hundred and eighty two citizens took the oath of allegiance before the close of the following October. Subsequently, as the rebel army retired from other portions of the State, and the federal army advanced and extended its lines, the citizens of the districts or parishes thus delivered from the restraint of the rebellion also promptly came forward and renewed their allegiance to the government of the Union. Soldiers, white and black, enlisted into the armies of the Union, and in New Orleans many of the citizens formed themselves into home-guards, to assist the federal authorities in case of an attack by the rebels.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of election contest cases that occurred during the 38th United States Congress from 1865 to 1871. The cases primarily involve the question of how to reorganize state governments after the Civil War and the role of federal authority in that reorganization. During this time, several Southern states were under military occupation and sought to reestablish local governance. The book examines the question of which authority should oversee this restructuring: federal or state, or some combination of both. It highlights the conflict between the desire for local autonomy and the need for federal oversight to protect the rights of newly enfranchised African Americans and ensure the states would not return to secession or Jim Crow laws. By analyzing the legal arguments and historical context of these cases, this book provides insights into the complex and often contentious process of reconstructing a nation after a civil war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781528192019_0
