Public Meeting
Summary
A public meeting was held in Frederick on April 20-21, 1865 to respond to the expected return of former residents who had left to serve in the Confederate army. Resolutions were adopted that protested against the anticipated return of former Confederate soldiers; that expressed an intention to not molest those who had given up their arms and taken an oath of allegiance to the U.S., but to have arrested those who have not done so; and that a Committee of Safety is to be formed to act in concert with similar committees in other districts of the county.
