Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Civil War Military Pensions, 1861-1885 This was done by an act of Congress passed on July 22, 1861. After authorizing the President to accept the services of volunteers, not exceeding five hundred thousand, the following guarantee was inserted. Any volunteer who should be wounded or disabled while in the service, shall be entitled to the same benefits which have been or may be conferred on persons disabled in the regular service, and the widow, if there be one, and if not, the legal heirs of such as die, or may be killed in service, in addition to all arrears of pay and allowances, shall receive the sum of one hundred dollars.3 No discussion whatever attended this provision when it was introduced, and the readiness with which it was accepted, illustrates the attitude of Congress toward offering inducements for volunteering. This act marks the beginning of the Civil War pension legislation. Within the next half century our country was to witness the enactment and operation of a series of pension laws, the liberality and ex pense of which have no parallel in the history of any nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Civil War Military Pensions, 1861-1865 This demand became all the more imperative because of the disturbed condition of the pension system in the southern states. Shortly after hostilities began in the spring of 1861 Commissioner B arrott ordered the payment of pensions to be suspended at all the different agencies located in those states then in rebellion. And by an act passed on February 4, 1862, the Secretary of Interior was directed to strike from the pension rolls the names of all such persons who had taken up arms against the United States Government, or who had in any manner encouraged the rebels or mani fested a sympathy with their cause.li Thereafter, when money was appropriated for the payment of pensions, a provision was always inserted to the effect that no part of it was to be paid to disloyal persons. During the first year of the war, over two thousand pensioners living in the southern states were dropped from the rolls. After the Union f orces regained control of certain points in these states, the pension agencies were reestablished, and provision was made for paying those who were justly entitled to a pension. In order to have their names restored to the rolls, persons had to prove by act and sympathy, their continued loyalty to the Union. At the close of the year 1865, agencies had been. Reopened in Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Each successive year saw new agencies Opened at other points throughout the South, and finally by 1872 the pension system was again in operation in every southern state. To meet the situation in 1861, Congress decided to act upon the Commissioner's recommendation. The first step taken was to ascertain exactly what laws were then in Opera tion governing the payment of pensions. Neither the Com missioner of Pensions nor the Secretary of Interior was able to furnish the information desired; but the latter called up on attorney-general B ates for an interpretation of certain acts then found on the statute books. He was first asked to place a construction upon the act of J uly 22, 1861, and in addition give an opinion upon the following points.
