especially those who are duly organized as
soldiers in the public service. The law OF
nations, and the usages and customs of war,
as carried on by civilized powers, permit no
distinction as to color in the treatment OF
prisoners of war as public enemies To sell
or enslavc any captured person on account
of his color, and for no offense against. the
laws of war, is relapse into barbarism, and
crime against the civilization of the age
The Government of the United States vii
give the same protection to all its soldiers
and if the enemy slvll sell or enslave any
one because of his color, the oilcnse shall b,
punished by retaliation upon the enemy
prisoners in our possession. 1t is therefore
ordered, that for every soldier of the CnitcC
States killed in violation of the law, rcbe
soldier shall be executed, and for every on,
cnslaved by the enemy or sold into slavery
a rebel soldier shall be placed at hard labo
