Americans take for granted that government does not have the right to permanently seize private property without just compensation. Yet for much of American history, such a view constituted the weaker side of an ongoing argument about government sovereignty and individual rights. What brought about this drastic shift in legal and political thoug...

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 monograph 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 not 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 non-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 monograph 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 economic and social considerations.

The Confiscation Acts were designed to sanction slave holding states by authorizing the Federal Government to seize rebel properties and grant freedom to slaves who fought with or worked for the Confederate military. In the first full account in more than twenty years of them, John Syrett examines the political contexts of the Acts, especially the debates in Congress, and demonstrates how the failure of the confiscation acts during the war presaged the political and structural shortcomings of Reconstruction after the war.

Most historians accept the proposition that in the first two years of the Civil War the North's primary aim was to reestablish the Union and the Constitution, not to emancipate slaves. But when northerners began clamoring for the confiscation of southern land and slaves as a punitive, military, and revenue-raising tactic, the constitutional right to personal property, particularly human property, came into question. In From Property to Person, Silvana R. Siddali traces the resulting discourse among northern voters, politicians, military leaders, and President Lincoln, elucidating how emancipation ultimately became an essential political cause in the North. After the outbreak of civil war, many northern citizens demanded that slaves be seized as contraband without necessarily endorsing their emancipation. Siddali examines the public and political debates in the North over southerners' private property rights and explains how these deliberations set in motion the first major reconsideration of the Constitution since the Bill of Rights. Fundamental questions arose: Who had the right to control the war effort? What were the rights of rebellious citizens in a democratic Republic? How did one define human bondage that is implicitly protected in the nation's founding documents? Would the destruction of slavery irreparably damage the Constitution? Through the two Confiscation Acts of 1861 and 1862, the author argues, Americans worked out a conundrum between property rights and constitutionally protected civil liberties. The right of all human beings to freedom now trumped white southerners' right to human property. In a rich analysis of editorials, pamphlets, letters, and congressional speeches, From Property to Person reveals the swift transformation in rhetoric concerning the Constitution and its protection of private property rights. The Confiscation Acts paved the way for the Reconstruction Amendments by fostering support for a broader reach by the federal government into private property rights and envisioning a new interpretation of an individual citizen's rights and obligations.
