The 1st and 2nd Confiscation Acts:
The Federal Covenant of Liberation and Protection of American Africans, US Citizens
(Extended Edition)

 1.  The Legal Root of Freedom: The Confiscation Acts of 1861 and 1862

During the Civil War, Congress enacted the First and Second Confiscation Acts (1861–1862). These measures authorized the seizure of all property used to support the Confederate rebellion —including chattel enslaved Americans — and declared such persons militarily liberated and free under the authority of the United States.

Here, the Republic made a historic and moral transfer:
Enslaved American-Africans were liberated BY, UNDER, and INTO Federal Military Authority (under the Presidency of the United States).
They passed from the possession of men into the guardianship of the national-federal government itself, operating directly under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief.

Thus began the Protector–Protectorate covenant:
The United States, through its President and armed forces, assumed a permanent duty before God and history “…to recognize and maintain the freedom” it had decreed to former chattel enslaved Americans, the only such persons to exclusively experience the American nightmare as opposed to the American Dream for those of willing immigration heritage.

2. The Emancipation Proclamation as Military Charter

President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) built directly upon the Confiscation Acts, transforming their principle into national command.  It twice invokes the President and the military together as the Executive instrument of liberty:

“The Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons.” (Section 3)
“The Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.” (Section 7)
“Such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States…” (Section 9)

These declarations confirm that emancipation was not symbolic; it was a standing military order — a federal oath binding the President and armed forces to protect the liberated American-African, federlized citizens and their descendants for all time.

3. Liberated BY, Under, and INTO Federal Military Authority (under the Presidency of the United States)

Freedom was not a vacuum; it was a transfer of jurisdiction. The Confiscation Acts and the Emancipation Proclamation placed the newly liberated and freed individuals under the immediate protection of federal military authority, itself operating under the Commander-in-Chief.

The same power that broke the chains became the guardian of the freed. This authority has never been repealed nor declared void; in fact, it was actually expanded through successive federal statutes and amendments:

• Civil Rights Act of 1866 — Sections 4, 5, and 9: placed the Freedmen’s Bureau under military jurisdiction and empowered the President to call forth the Army, Navy, or militia to enforce its provisions.
• The 1868 14th Amendment: translated military guardianship into constitutional equal protection.
• The 1870–1871 Enforcement Acts reaffirmed federal and military power to defend those rights against foreign (i.e., illegal immigration invasion-occupation) and domestic threats.

These successive laws confirm that freedom in America remains under the custody of its own national authority. The Confiscation Acts were the seed; every later law is its fruit.

Section 9 — The Executive Summons

Section 9 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 completes the structural bond between the President and the armed forces. It authorizes “the President of the United States, or such person as he may authorize,” to employ such part of the land or naval forces of the United States, or of the militia, as shall be necessary to prevent the violation and enforce the due execution of this Act.”

This clause does more than permit intervention; it consecrates the Executive–military partnership as the enduring instrument of justice, operating on the typical, mutual, high moral, and legal ground.

The President invokes the 1870–1871 Force Act; the nation’s oath of freedom is renewed. Together they form the living covenant through which the Republic pledges to recognize, maintain, and defend the liberty of its freed citizens — a permanent guardianship under law and under God.

4. President Andrew Johnson Veto that Confirmed Permanence

Even President Andrew Johnson, in his 1866 veto of the Civil Rights Act, acknowledged this unchanging federal presence, stating in his letter to the US Senate his veto of the 14th Amendment:

“This language seems to imply a permanent military force… They establish for the security of the colored race safeguards that go infinitely beyond any that the General Government has ever provided for the white race.”

Unwittingly, Mr. Jphnson’s protest proves the point: even he recognized that the Acts and their enforcement created a standing national duty toward those freed from slavery. The same military he commanded was, by law, bound to their defense.
Therefore, any threat to Section 1 of both the Act of federalized super citizenship of American-African, chattel slave descendants, is to the USA’s national security 

5. The Unbroken Covenant

From the Confiscation Acts through the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights Act, the 14th Amendment, and the Enforcement Acts, a single through-line endures:

Freedom in America was born BY, sustained UNDER, and preserved INTO Federal Military Authority (under the Presidency of the United States), and ratified before Heaven as a national oath of justice.

This is the unrepealed law of conscience within the law of the land — a covenant that still summons the Republic to guard its own deliverance. Until that duty is fulfilled in righteousness and mercy, the work of Emancipation is not complete.
