Its the end of May 1865 and the Republican Radicals along with the backing of a group of union generals pass legislation and force President Johnson to sign into law that orders the capture and the detention of all confederate officers above LT. Col. and selected confederate political official, without trial.
The purpose of the detentions was to reeducate them above Constitution and paid for their crimes against the federal state.
The union army stated building camps in the Western territories and throughout the south, the Union army began rounding up the appropriate confederate criminals. Within weeks numerous camps began to fill up. The confederates like Lee, Davis, Longstreet, D. Hill, and many more lesser-known ones as well are being re-educated out in the Western lands
These camps or Gulags were not a prison or prison camps but reeducation camps with indoctrination in the Constitution and hard labor to repent for their traitorous acts. These Gulags were run by the Color Troop regiments to remind these confederate criminals of slavery's evils...
As the years past the law was expanded to include any Southern that became disruptive or hostel toward Federal rule in the south.
Think how better off Reconstruction would have been with the leadership of the failed Confederacy had been shipped off to Gulags in the west.
What if the Federal Government had created Reeducation Camps(Gulags?
