Excerpt from The Confiscation of Property During the Civil War: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature; In Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History This mograph is intended to present the results and conclusions of an investigation of the federal policy of confiscation during the Civil War, undertaken as a doctoral dissertation for the Department of History in the University of Chicago. Though the nature of such a study is sufficiently clear without introductory comments, and though its importance may t justify an extended preface, yet a word of explanation may perhaps be in order as to the choice of subject matter and the method pursued in this short volume. The writer has, for the purpose of unity of treatment, excluded various topics which are plainly related to the subject of confiscation during the Civil War. The important, though undeveloped, subject of rebel sequestration, for instance, has been referred to only incidentally as throwing light on the motives for the Union measures of forfeiture. A unique class of property, namely slaves, is excluded from consideration here, because the study of this topic constitutes a substantial problem in itself, and its connection with the policy of general confiscation was only incidental. Mere military seizures, pursued in accordance with the general army instructions from Washington, fall outside the scope of the present study, as do also forfeiture for violation of the n-intercourse acts, seizures for evasion of the internal revenue, and the capture and disposition of maritime prizes. These omissions have been necessary in order to preserve the minuteness of subject matter appropriate to mograph treatment. The method of presentation pursued throughout the study is to classify the data regarding seizures under general heads according to the principal kinds of situations in which property might be placed, and to present the main problems or lines of policy which the government followed in taking, trying, and restoring property, rather than to explore the details of individual cases, though considerable material of this sort is in the writer's possession derived from the original court records. More space has intentionally been given to the constitutional and legal phases of the subject, than to ecomic and social considerations.
