Title: [Manuscript Amnesty Oath from Mississippi Following the Civil War]
Author: [Civil War]. [Mississippi]. [Kerr, Thomas B.]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Tishomingo County, Ms: November 3, 1865. Very good.. [1]p. of manuscript on a folio sheet. Old folds, minor wear and soiling. A manuscript true copy of a loyalty oath taken by Thomas B. Kerr of Tishomingo County, Mississippi following the end of the Civil War. The oath itself reads: "I do solemnly swear in the presence of almighty God that I will hereafter faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the states thereunder and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the Existing Rebellion with reference to the Emancipation of the Slaves. So help me God." The document is signed by Kerr as well as the Justice of the Peace, James M. Amis, and docketed on the verso, "Thos. B. Kerr amnesty oath." Amnesty oaths from Mississippi are increasingly more rare in the market, especially those directly referencing the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of slavery.
