In May 1865, the final month of the Civil War, the U.S. Army arrested and prosecuted a sitting congressman in a military trial in the border state of Maryland, though the federal criminal courts in the state were functioning. Convicted of aiding and abetting paroled Confederate soldiers, Benjamin Gwinn Harris of Maryland's Fifth Congressional District was imprisoned and barred from holding public office. Harris was a firebrand--effectively a Confederate serving in Congress--and had long advocated the constitutionality of slavery and the right of states to secede from the Union. This first-ever book-length analysis of the unusual trial examines the prevailing opinions in Southern Maryland and in the War Department regarding slavery, treason and the Constitution's guarantee of property rights and freedom of speech.

Modeled after Ezra J. Warner's two earlier books, Generals in Gray and Generals in Blue, the volume contains an introduction describing the makeup of the Confederate Congress, biographical sketches of the congressmen, and a substantial bibliography. Each biographical sketch includes the place and date of birth, family background, education, means of livelihood, politics, public service record, and degree of financial and political success of each congressman by 1860. The authors describe each individual's participation in (or his opposition to) secession and detail the circumstances of his election to the Confederate Congress. A prominent section of each sketch is devoted to each man's activities in the Congress: his position on the major issues before Congress, his chief interest and the measures he sponsored, and the reason he left the Congress. Then, the authors attempt to pick up the lives of each congressman after the Civil War. The sketches include the place and date of death of each man, as well as the place of burial. Anyone interested in Civil War history will find Biographical Register of the Confederate Congress an indispensable reference.
