Congress passed an amendment to the Enrollment Act on March 3 1865; this is sometimes referred to itself as the Enrollment Act of 1865. Section 21 of the Act 13 Stat. 490 imposed denationalization loss of citizenship as a penalty for draft evasion or desertion. Justice John Marshall Harlan II's dissent in Afroyim v. Rusk mentioned the Enrollment Act of 1865 as an example of a law in which citizenship could be revoked without a person's consent and that the Congress then regarded it as constitutional.

Smallest 4" x 2-3/4"; largest 6-13/16" x 3-1/2". Most ~5" x 3-1/4" <br/><br/>An archive of ten Civil War and Reconstruction era manuscript diaries kept by Myron E. Rose a Democrat from Champion New York whose political views during the war coincided most strongly with those of the Peace Democrats or “Copperheads.” Although Rose never self-identifies as such only as a staunch Democrat he voted for Horatio Seymour in the 1862 election for NY governor makes no secret of his loathing for abolitionists lauds the possibility of Lincoln’s capture by Confederate troops and resents a war fought to “free the n----- — it takes more men than there were negroes what works” July 19 1864. His diaries offer a near-daily if often terse portrayal of the experience of a Northern Democrat during and after the Civil War including not only notes on the progress of the war drafts and draft riots local and national politics and the deaths of friends and fellow townsfolk but also his move to Iowa following the war and efforts to homestead there his life back in Champion after the death of his wife his attendance at Spiritualist meetings and disdain for Adventists readings and his many jobs social life successes and lack thereof with women book purchases accounting and more. The diaries begin in 1859 when Rose was a 25-year-old new schoolteacher still working toward getting his teaching certificate doing a variety of additional odd jobs and seemingly more interested in dating the local women than in national events: “Went home with Cor. Hormer and went in she gave me an introduction to ‘for the cool’ confound her” Oct. 21 1859. He notes the 1860 election the next year — “Election day . . . S. A. Douglas Dem A. Lincoln Rep Bell Union Breakenridge Administration seceders. Morgan Gov Rep Kelly Dem. Quite an exciting day. . . . Lincoln Elected” Nov. 6 - 7 1860 — and mentions that one Mr. Winslow a Democrat was elected School Commissioner suggesting that there was perhaps a small concentration of Democrats in the Champion area. By 1862 the war has started to impact him: “Have been roof-boarding. Some towns will have to draft it is expected. A good many have gone to Canada. The war begins to affect sic us here now” Aug 26 1862. That November Rose notes that there has not been “a great turn out at the polls. Will be a close rub voted for Seymour” Nov 4 1862. The next year he comments: “The war progresses about the same turning out the Generals and putting in new ones &c &c. The rebels will gain their independence I guess and that by d___d Republican mismanagement” Feb 9 1863. Shortly thereafter he learns that his brother Arthur “is proclaimed a deserter”: “Harnessed up my colt single and put him on my cutter drove him down to Tylersville. John went down with me saw quite a number there Arthur also. Willard is dead died in hospital of consumption so his Captain wrote . . . Snows P. M. Arthur feels very bad” March 11 1863. In July 1863 Rose reports on the New York City draft riots : “A great riot in N.Y. City on acct. of drafting no call for men but they are giving orders for drafting by number of men a mean miserable proceeding a good many killed and a good deal of property destroyed” July 18 1863 and the next day that “the draft is postponed for the present. I am most afraid that there will be hard times all over” July 19 1863. Nevertheless he places the cause entirely on the Republican party: “A good deal of excitement in Wtn Washington so Warren says. If there are riots & murder & robbing it is the teachings of the Abolition Republican party for they have trampled the Constitution underfoot in more ways than one” July 21 1863. Rose’s views about the Republicans and “shrieking Abolitionists” never waver though he seems to relish debating politics and feels he’s a good ideological counterbalance. Nevertheless as the following passages indicate he remained strictly antiwar/ anti-Republican: - “News to night Greely & old Lincoln’s sec. have been to see Geo. Sanders & others in Canada all rebels and should go over the falls together.” July 21 1864 - “News that Atlanta is taken. I don’t care how soon they wind up the rebels and then return to something else.” Sept 3 1864 - “Staid to Mr. Knowls’s talked politics. He says that we have a king now and that it is all right — is for it until peace is obtained. He is not fit for a republic.” November 17 1864 In a curious precursor to modern politics Rose even notes that “Ohio Penn & Indiana hold their election today. As they go so goes the election next month” Oct. 11 1864. Rose makes little mention of politics after the war and in 1866 moved with his wife and his brother Arthur and his wife to Iowa where they bought 160 acres of land possibly utilizing provisions of the Homestead Act of 1862 cleared it built a house and farmed for approximately 6 years. Research indicates that Rose’s wife and newborn child died in 1872 and that he moved back to Champion shortly thereafter; aside from 1866 the diaries from these years are absent. Rose seems to have continued teaching school both in Iowa and upon his return to New York and also remarried started a cheesemaking business and attended Spiritualist meetings back in Champion as well. All in all a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a Northern Democrat during the Civil War. hardcover books‎
