Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the detailed account of the historic trial of Charles Lockington, an alien enemy imprisoned without criminal charge during the War of 1812. The author, a highly respected legal scholar of the time, lays out the arguments for and against Lockingtonâs imprisonment, which centered on the question of whether or not he should be treated as a prisoner of war. The trial, which took place before Chief Justice William Tilghman of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, was closely watched by the public and had a significant impact on the development of American law relating to the treatment of enemy aliens during wartime. The author provides a thorough analysis of the legal issues involved, as well as the historical context of the case, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history of American law or the War of 1812.
