==== | ====Presidential Pardons of Former Confederates, 1863–1868 ==== | ||
From 1863 to 1868, former Confederates could apply for pardon from the federal government. The voting rights and citizenship of former Confederates were restored when they applied for pardon and signed an Amnesty Oath. In August 1865, stations were appointed in each county in Alabama where men and a few women could sign the Amnesty Oath. The oaths list only the names of the persons who signed and are often found in county records. On 6 June 1868, general amnesty became universal. The 1865–1867 records are available on microfilms: | From 1863 to 1868, former Confederates could apply for pardon from the federal government.
