Includes an article on the the passing of the Enrollment Bill, news of Sherman approaching Raleigh, etc. More Civil War news. Congress passed an amendment to the Enrollment Act on March 3, 1865; this is sometimes referred to itself as the Enrollment Act of 1865. Section 21 of the Act (13 Stat. 490) imposed denationalization (loss of citizenship) as a penalty for draft evasion or desertion. Justice John Marshall Harlan II's dissent in Afroyim v. Rusk mentioned the Enrollment Act of 1865 as an example of a law in which citizenship could be revoked without a person's consent and that the Congress then regarded it as constitutional.
