This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The "Amnesty Papers" or "Case Files of Applications from Former Confederates for Presidential Pardons, 1865-1867" (NARA M1003) were created at the end of the Civil War. On May 29, 1865, Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederates who participated in the war in an amnesty proclamation. The amnesty proclamation, however, included 14 groups of people that were excluded from amnesty. The individuals not granted amnesty had to apply for a pardon from the president. Following the 1865 proclamation thousands of former Confederates submitted applications for presidential pardons. |
