Partly-printed DS, signed “F. Gilbert,” one page, 9.75 x 8.25, September 2, 1865. Civil War Amnesty oath issued to F. Gilbert, reads, in full: “I, F. Gilbert, do solemnly swear in the presence of Almighty God that I will hereafter faithfully defend the Constitution of the United States and the States there-under; and that I will in like manner abide by and support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the Emancipation of Slavery so help me God.” Signed at the conclusion by Gilbert, and countersigned by the Captain and Provost Marshall. Intersecting folds, small spot of ink erosion, and some light creases and wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. On May 29, 1865, President Andrew Johnson provided amnesty and the return of property to those who would take an oath of allegiance. However, former Confederate government officials with the rank of colonel and above from the Confederate army or lieutenant and above from the Confederate navy, and people owning more than $20,000 worth of property had to apply for individual pardons. Though it was difficult for ex-Confederates to ask for a pardon for something they did not believe had been wrong, thousands did ask for and receive amnesty from President Johnson. The Robert Davis Collection.
