On this day in 1863 the Confederate Congress passed a resolution signed by President Jefferson Davis declaring that, “negroes or mulattoes, slave or free, taken in arms should be turned over to the authorities in the state in which they were captured and that their officers would be tried by Confederate military tribunals for inciting insurrection and be subject, at the discretion of the court and the president, to the death penalty.”
There's "Sic Semper Tyrannis" as expected. It was the "Don't Tread On Me" reactionary appropriation of its day.
