| An Act to repeal Section thirteen of "An Act to suppress Insurrection, to punish Treason and Rebellion, to seize and confiscate the Property of Rebels, and for other Purposes" January 21, 1867 Statutes of the United States |
This statute ended President Johnson's ability to restore rebels to their citizenship and property. Unfortunately it was
too late. He had granted as many as he possibly could have before this law was enacted.
