Synopsis
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Seen From the Field in the War for the Union
One of the first warlike acts of the Confederate States was to send forth armed cruisers, commissioned by Letters of Marque to prey upon our merchant-ships and commerce on the seas. We could not treat these cruisers as a domestic insurrectionary force, because they were operating on the high seas, - the road of the nations; nor could we treat them as pirates, and apply to their captured crews the summary process of a short rope at the yard-arm, because they were only domestic enemies, and did not come under the pirate definition of international law, as enemies of mankind. So we had to submit to their enjoying certain privileges recognized by the law of nations, and admit their captured crews to exchange as prisoners of war.
