Woodard Research

 On March 23, 1867, Congress passed legislation that called for a registration of qualified voters in each military district.  The registrant had to take an oath stating that he was not disqualified by law from voting.  Those ineligible included Confederate veterans with a rank of major or above;  Any person who had previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, as an officer of the United States, as a member of any state legislature or who had later engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United State, or gave aid or comfort to the enemies.  Local military authorities often interpreted this prohibition to include anyone who had held any kind of office, thereby preventing a number of otherwise eligible citizens from voting.  The 1867 Voter Registration includes names of voters who registered in the period between 1867 and 1869.
