Stanton and Exchange of Prisoners Explainer
The National Tribune recounts the prisoner exchange policy, noting Stanton and Halleck controlled exchanges before Grant took over. After Gettysburg, exchanges paused due to treatment of colored troops, then Grant favored man for man exchanges but opposed reintroducing captured Confederates without parole.
