There is strong feeling everywhere that the property of every Southern rebel should be confiscated..............

........................

Probably, however, such a step can only be regarded as a war measure,

Hitherto, we believe, the Government has held that such an act of confiscation would prolong the war, and render fixed and durable peace impossible. It has acted upon that belief, and, unless we are greatly mistaken, the results, thus far, have vindicated the wisdom of its action.


There is much more wisdom back then. I hope the confiscation of bank accounts in Canada is held as an act of war by the people.

I hope we also consider it an act of war.
