estab-Iished institutions of those Slates, but
to defend and maintain the supremacy of
tne Constitution and raws maua in pursu
ance thereof, and io preserve the Union
with alt ihe digniiy, equality and rights of
the several Slates unimpaired;' as soon as
these objects are accomplished ifce war
ought to cease ;
And uhciezs, Thestj' resolution, not joint
or concurrent io their form, are' substan
tially identical, and as toch may be regard
ed as having expressed t ha 6ense of Con
grass upon ihe subject io which they relate:
? jind ickctea, By my proclamaiion of the
13. h day of June laM, the inscrrection in
the State cf Te-tme.'&ea was declarI to have
been suppressed, the authority of the
United S'.ates iherain'to Le undipoet.,f and
such Uri'ueJ Stales officers, as had been
. . . . . i
duly commissioned, to be in the undisputel
exercise of taeir otueiil funcfioos ; '
And whereas, Tbetpovr exists no organ
ized armed resistance of misguided citi
zens or others to the authority of the Unil
eJ Stales in , the States of Georgia, Soaib
Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes
see, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansa?, Mis
sissippi and Florida, and the laws can be
sustained and enforced therein by the prop
er civil authority, iState.br Federal, and the
people of the 'said Slates are well and" loy
ally disposed, and have conformed, or will
conform, in lheir legielatioc to the coedi
tion of affairs growing out of the amend
ment to the CrnMtniion of the United
Slates probib'ning slavery within the li m its
and jorisd'ction of the United State : 1
And wheieas, In view of the before re
died premises, it is the manifest determi
naiinr. of ihe American people that no
volted and who have been overcome and
subdued, rout either te dealt witfc, so as to
laein from ever aaair.' doins harm as ere
mies, which last named policy U abhor
rent lo humanity and freedom ;
And whereas, Te Constitution of the
United States provides tor consiitu'.io .al
communities only as States, and not as
territories, dependencies, provinces or pro
tectorates :
iwtfre.is,.Such constituent State? 'must
necessarily be, and by tho 'Constitution' and
laws of the United States are made equal?
and placed upon a like footing as to politi
cal rights, immunities, dignity and power
with the several States with which they
are united :
Aud izhercis The observance cf political
equality as a principle of right and jastice
is well calculated to encourage the people
of the aforesaid States to be and become
mora and more constant aad persevering in
their renewed allegiance, . ,
And uheiens, Standing armies, military
occupation, military law, military tribunals
and the'suspension of the privileges of the
writ of habeas corpus, are in time of peace
dangerous m public . liberty, incompatible
with the individual rights of the citizen,
contrary to thegenios and spirit of our free
institutions and exhaustive of the national
resources, and not, therefore, lo be sanc
tioned or allowed except in cases of actual
necessiiy for repelling invasion or sop
pressing insurrection or rebellion, J
And whereas, The policy of the Govern
ment of the United State?, from the begin
ning of the insurrection to its overthrow
and fiaal suppression, has been in conform
ity with the principles hereia set forth and
enumerated, '
Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of ihe United Slates, do hereby pro
claim and declare, that the, insurrection
which heretofore existed in the Slates of
Georgia, South Carolina,, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas,, Mississippi and Florida, is at
an end, and is henceforth to be so reg'arded.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the. seal of the
United States to be affixed. ,
Done at ihe City of Washington, the
second day of April,in Ihe year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty

States of America the ninetieth. .
