At 6 feet 4 inches tall, Lincoln towered over most of his contemporaries. Acquired this hat from J.Y. Davis, a Washington hat maker. Lincoln had the black silk mourning band added in remembrance of his son, Willie. The last time Lincoln war this top hat was to go to Ford’s Theatre on April 14,1865.

Called out state militias, increased size of navy, ordered naval blockade of south, approved funds for military expenses (acting as Commander in Chief”) Ordered arrest of Southern sympathizers in Md. & Del. to prevent further secession –Suspended the writ of habeas corpus (charged with a crime) –Declared martial law (military in charge of gov’t)

Important Document (Motivate the Union) Emancipation Proclamation 1.September 22, 1862, issued 2.January 1,1863, take effect 3. Lincoln’s statement that if the Southern states did not stop the rebellion, it would become a war to free slaves (in the rebelling territories) 4.

Motivation to keep fighting and not negotiate a peace treaty…Reminder that democracy often requires sacrifice.
