Barbara Streisand. Military arrest and trial (as well as arrest without trial) was applied not only to residents and agents of the South, but also to critics of the administration in the North. You might want to read Chief Justice Rehnquist's book on the subject, All the Laws But One. Newspaper publishers were arrested (and newspapers suppressed), ministers were arrested (e.g., for omitting the prescribed prayer for the President of the United States), even a federal judge was placed under house arrest (without pay) for issuing a writ of habeas corpus.
