The Civil War placed an unprecedented burden on municipal officials who were responsible for meeting Federal and State quotas of volunteers from their respective cities and towns, for establishing and paying out bounties to encourage enlistment, and for ensuring that the qualified dependent families of volunteers received "State Aid," financial assistance mandated by the State.
