2) Abolishing the system of peonage (involuntary servitude to pay off debts).
3) Continuing laws providing payment of bounties and claims to Black soldiers, sailors, and their heirs.
4) Prohibiting non-citizens or those without declared intent to become citizens from acquiring land in US territories, with exceptions for countries with existing treaties.
