Note that the items taken--food and transportation--were the necessities of war. There doesn't seem to have been anything frivolous taken from this particular Atlanta resident. It's also important to note that the claims were not allowed until almost 10 years after the start of the war. How does that affect the accuracy of the claims?

About this Document

In 1871, the US government established the Southern Claims Commission to address southerners' petitions for compensation of supplies, livestock, and other items taken by the Union troops during the Civil War. More than 20,000 claims were filed. These testimonial files include first-person accounts of how civilians survived the war, detailed circumstances regarding loss of property, and accounts of each family's history and loyalty to the Union cause.
