About This Item
Washington, 1869. Folded octavo leaf. 3, [1 blank] pp. Very Good.
General Order No. 40 publishes two Acts of Congress significant for post-War Reconstruction. The first removes "all legal and political disabilities" which had been imposed on a large number of rebels. The second authorizes submission to the people of proposed Constitutions of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. The Constitutions required repudiation of secession and endorsement of the Reconstruction Amendments, including the proposed Fifteenth Amendment guaranteeing the suffrage.
E.D. Townsend, Adjutant General, issues the General Order by command of General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman.
