Johnson Proclaims Extended Pardon for Rebel Participation
The 1865 proclamation by President Andrew Johnson extends full pardon to those who directly or indirectly aided the late rebellion in states including Georgia and South Carolina, restoring rights except for slaves, upon taking an oath and registering their name for permanent preservation. The measure widens clemency beyond the May 1865 proclamation while preserving limits on property rights tied to emancipation and excluding leading Confederate officials and officers.
