“The Press” In 1866
June 26 END OF WAR.—President Johnson has issued the following proclamation:— “Whereas the President of the United States at different times in 1861 and 1862 declared certain States to be in insurrection, and during July, 1861, Congress adopted resolutions declaring that war was waged solely to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity and quality of the rights of the States unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects were accomplished the war ought to cease; whereas no organised or
armed resistance to Federal authority exists in the late insurrectionary States, and the proper Federal or States’ civil authority can enforce the laws therein, and the people are loyally disposed, and have conformed, or will conform, by legislation, to the condition of affairs growing out of the Constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery ... I therefore proclaim the insurrection in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida to be ended, and henceforth to be so regarded.”
