A more thorough explanation:

Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture

The Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture was a federal court established by Congress under the Articles of Confederation. It was responsible for reviewing state-court decisions concerning British ships captured by American privateers during the American Revolution. This court served as the chief U.S. court from 1780 to 1787 and was the first federal court in the United States.

During the American Revolution, American privateers captured many British ships. Disputes arose over the legality of these captures, and state courts were responsible for resolving them. However, if a party was dissatisfied with the state court's decision, they could appeal to the Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture.

For example, if an American privateer captured a British ship and brought it to a port in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts court would determine whether the capture was legal. If the British owner of the ship disagreed with the court's decision, they could appeal to the Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture.

Another example would be if a British ship was captured by an American privateer and brought to a port in Virginia. The Virginia court would determine the legality of the capture, and if the British owner disagreed with the decision, they could appeal to the Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture.

These examples illustrate how the Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture was responsible for reviewing state-court decisions concerning British ships captured by American privateers during the American Revolution. It ensured that disputes over the legality of these captures were resolved fairly and consistently across the United States.
