General Hancock and the Suratt Case Debate
The Pennsylvania delegate defended General Hancock as never violating civil law while Virginia Enterprise accuses him of failing to obey habeas corpus in Mary Surratt’s 1865 case. The piece recalls the Military Commission that tried Surratt, the suspended writs, and Hancock’s duty bound obedience to orders from Andrew Johnson, arguing he was not responsible for the outcome.
