Joint Resolution 
To restore posthumously full rights of citizenship to General R. E. Lee. 
Whereas this entire Nation has long recognized the outstanding virtues 
of courage, patriotism, and selfless devotion to duty of General R. E. 
Lee, and has recognized the contribution of General Lee in healing 
the wounds of the War Between the States, and 
Whereas, in order to further the goal of reunion of this country, 
General Lee, on June 13, 1865, applied to the President for amnesty 
and pardon and restoration of his rights as a citizen, and 
Whereas this request was favorably endorsed by General Ulysses 
S. Grant on June 16,1865, and 
Whereas, General Lee's full citizenship was not restored to him subse-
quent to his request of June 13, 1865, for the reason that no accom-
panying oath of allegiance was submitted, and 
Whereas, on October 12, 1870, General Lee died, still denied the right 
to hold any office and other rights of citizenship, and 
Whereas a recent discovery has revealed that General Lee did in fact 
on October 2, 1865, swear allegiance to the Constitution of the 
United States and to the Union, and 
Whereas it appears that General Lee thus fulfilled all of the legal as 
well as moral requirements incumbent upon him for restoration of 
his citizenship: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress a^sembled^ That, in accordance with 
section 3 of amendment 14 of the United States Constitution, the legal 
disabilities placed upon General Lee as a result of his service as Gen-
eral of the Army of Northern Virginia are removed, and that General 
R. E. Lee is posthumously restored to the full rights of citizenship, 
effective June 13, 1865.
