Confiscation of Rebels Property and Slaves Bill Intro
Senator Trumbull of Illinois introduces a bill to confiscate rebel property and free slaves held by rebels. It proposes complete forfeiture of all property of rebels within US borders, proceeds held for loyal citizens, and colonization for freed slaves, with separate paths for military and judicial forfeiture. He argues constitutional authority and necessity to crush the rebellion.
