After the war, Green was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson for his support of the Confederacy and paid a $20,000 fine.Autograph Letter Signed “Duff Green” in pencil, June 6, 1865, 1pp., written to President Johnson. In part, “I have prepared a very brief statement relative to the amnesty oath ... which I wish to submit for your approval. I have been waiting several days & will not detain you four minutes.
