The Secretary of the Treasury has just issued the following general regulations relative to securing and disposing of the property found or brought within the territory now, or hereafter, occupied by the United States forces in the disloyal States.
In order to the security and proper disposition of the productions of the soil, and all other property found within the limits of States, or parts of States, declared to be in insurrection against the United States, and now occupied, or to be hereafter occupied, by the troops and authority of the Union, the following regulations are established:
There shall be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approbation of the President, agents to reside at such points or places as are, or may be, occupied by the forces of the United States, whose duties shall be to secure and prepare for market the cotton and such other products and property as may be found or brought within the lines of the army or under the control of the Federal authorities.
To enable such agents to fulfill the duties devolved upon them, the military and naval authorities, under proper instructions, will render such military protection and aid as may be required, to carry out the intentions of the Department. Persons held to service for life under State laws, who may be found within such limits, may be employed by the agent, who will prepare lists, embracing the names, sex and condition of such persons, and as near as may be, their respective ages, together with the name of any person claiming their services, which lists shall be in triplicate, one for the military commandant, one for the files of the agent, and one to be immediately forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury.

How ironic the north went to war under the premise of freeing the slaves then enslaves an entire sovergne nation.
Confederates took Lincoln's call-up as a declaration of war and so formally declared war themselves, May 6, 1861.
So, slavery was the key reason for secession, and abolition was key to Union victory, but the "pretext" for war was Fort Sumter, not slavery.
As for who enslaves whom -- in 1861 it was Democrat slaveholders, in 2021 it's Democrat socialists.
It's always Democrats.
With your twisted logic its a sure bet you support its time to give california, Texas, new mexico and Arizona back to Mexico, and new york, and the entire east coast back to england. England just wanted what was theirs, the british had their flag here first. mexico in the southwest too.

Apparently, there were (or will be) two engagements at Morristown, Tennessee, the first on December 1, 1861 and reported here, December 6, the second on October 28, 1864.
But details of the two battles seem to be getting confused with each other.
East Tennessee's Parson Brownlow is here mentioned as the Union leader, and no others.
On October 28, 1864 the Union leader was Alvan Gilham, Confederate leader was John Vaughn.
This site puts Gilham & Vaughn fighting in Morristown on December 1, 1861.
Meanwhile, this site doesn't mention an engagement in 1861, leaves out Parson Brownlow, puts the battle on October 28, 1864 and includes there Gilham & Vaughn.
This biography of Parson Brownlow says he was in Nashville on December 6, 1861, when he was arrested & jailed.
There is no mention here of a battle at Morristown, though just possibly the New York Times report of one contributed to Brownlow's arrest in Nashville.
Apparently it was only the intervention of CSA Secretary of War, Judah Benjamin, which prevented Brownlow from being executed along with other Unionists captured in eastern Tennessee.
IIRC, every post since 1859 has two words. Slavery and cotton.
Both are considered commodities the time.
What will the issue be this time? Slavery and energy?

Now that is some seriously "twisted logic", FRiend.
Is that the kind of "logic" they taught you in school?
If so, you should demand a refund of whatever you paid for such "education".
Ikeon: "England just wanted what was theirs, the british had their flag here first.
mexico in the southwest too."
They all fought wars and lost.
So wars have consequences, don't they?
