It is probable that the actual Confederate property was nearly all stolen by the agents.

One agent in Alabama sold an appointment as assistant for $25,000, and a few months later both the assistant and the agent were tried by a military court for stealing and were fined $90,000 and $250,000 respectively in addition to being imprisoned.
Other property, including horses, mules, wagons, tobacco, rice, and sugar which the natives claimed as their own, was seized.

In some places the agents even collected delinquent Confederate taxes.

Much of the confiscable property was not sold but was turned over to the Freedmen's Bureau* for its support.

The total amount seized cannot be satisfactorily ascertained.
