RE: Lincoln and the Enrollment Act
Thank you, Roger. If I understand AL's opinion correctly, he would have preferred that both provisions (money and substitute) be "swept away?" Although the last line stumps me.
FYI: As per an inflation calculator, $300 in 1863 is worth $5,500 today. Obviously, $300 in 1863 was an unattainable sum for most immigrants or new citizens. |
