O knihe
The Civil War presented exceptional legal questions. Bitter strife and desperate shortages on both sides resulted in extreme wartime measures enacted by the United States government. The Confiscation Act of 1861, which legalized the seizure of property, proved particularly harsh. To soften the effects of this act on loyal citizens residing in Confederate territory, the Act of March 12, 1863, created the special legal theory of abandoned or captured property. This legislation set up a special Treasury fund to reimburse owners for loss of goods upon proof of ownership and verification of loyalty to the Union. After the war, a total of 1578 claims were brought against the United States government for wartime losses. The entries in this book present the particulars of the all the reported cases heard by the United States Court of Claims after the war and are arranged alphabetically by plaintiff surname. Claims include disputed contracts for munitions, ships, and supplies and more.
