They were used in service of the confederacy. Now they are union property. He even gave the confederate soldier a receipt. So what is contraband . This spreads incredibly quickly. Through newspapers rub the north. All of a sudden you see minstrel shows of the contraband. It becomes a now, part of common parlance. Is something of a legal trick. Is in in between status. Matter slave nor free. You are a ward of the government. You are a piece of property like smuggled goods but you are a person. Your labor is useful.
