Scope and content: Pursuant to the Confiscation Act of 1862, provision was made to seize and confiscate the property of persons engaged in armed rebellion against the United States. This "libel of information" is an accusation brought by U.S. Attorney Lucius Henry Chandler against Robert E. Lee, claiming the property described ("the Arlington House Estate") has been forfeited to the United States and ought to be condemned to their use. Attached to the libel is a second copy of the inventory of Lee's personal property at Arlington House. General notes: The Robert E. Lee Confiscation Case was originally docketed as Case 85. Prior to transfer to the National Archives the cases were rearranged alphabetically and the Robert E. Lee Case renumbered as Case 236. Researchers may see annotations for both numbers on various documents, but the original case is retrieved using Case 236.
