Synopsis:

Acts And Joint Resolutions Of The General Assembly Of The State Of South Carolina by Julian A. Selby. Acts And Joint Resolutions Of The General Assembly Of The State Of South Carolina is a postwar compilation presenting the acts and resolutions enacted by South Carolina's General Assembly during 1864 and 1865, as printed by order of the Legislature. The volume gathers statutes on wartime finance, taxation, and administration, including appropriations for the Governor, Legislature, judiciary, and state institutions; measures to raise supplies, support soldiers' families, and regulate police, militia and courts; and numerous incorporations for banks, canals, railroads, and other enterprises. It records efforts to mobilize the Confederate war effort, regulate slave labor, and address the emancipation process in advance of postwar policy, including acts relating to the appointment of Commissioners of the Poor and the regulation of domestic relations for persons of color. The work also contains legal adaptations for the operation of district courts, the code of criminal law, and the reorganization of educational and public-building institutions. The volume offers a crucial primary source for understanding South Carolina governance amid the Civil War and its immediate aftermath.
