American Bastile is a historical account written by John A. Marshall, which details the illegal arrests and imprisonment of American citizens during the late Civil War. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the actions taken by the government during this time period, including the suspension of habeas corpus, the establishment of military tribunals, and the imprisonment of civilians without trial. Marshall examines the cases of several individuals who were unjustly detained, including newspaper editors, politicians, and ordinary citizens. He also explores the legal and constitutional implications of these actions, and the impact they had on American society. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of civil liberties in the United States, and sheds light on a little-known aspect of the Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
