Senate Debates Civil War Enlistment Reform Bill
Washington reports outline Burnside’s bill to end color designations for U S soldiers enabling enlistment of Black citizens in all branches. It also assigns regiments by strength and confirms these units remain part of the U S Army. Other measures include pension exam reforms and districting for medical officers. Adjournment follows executive session.
