Recalling Bribes Offered for Enlistments in Past Wars
A meeting of the District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution discussed how volunteers in early wars received inducements or bounties. From 1776 to Civil War times, Congress offered land, money, and installments to attract volunteers for longer service terms. The piece traces bounty land grants, monetary sums, and timing of payments across revolutions, including 1847 Mexican War and Spanish War contexts. It notes state shortfalls and extra recruitment efforts, ending with a correction about a prior Philadelphia newspaper anecdote.
