7. Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address
Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865
During his inauguration at the start of his second term as President of the United States
Lincoln did not speak of happiness, but of sadness
Some see this speech as a defense of his pragmatic approach to Reconstruction, in which he sought to avoid harsh treatment of the defeated South by reminding his listeners of how wrong both sides had been in imagining what lay before them when the war began four years earlier.
Lincoln balanced that rejection of triumphalism, however, with a recognition of the unmistakable evil of slavery, which he described in the most concrete terms possible
Unbeknownst to him, John Wilkes Booth, David Herold, George Atzerodt, Lewis Paine, John Surratt and Edmund Spangler, a few of the conspirators involved with his assassination were present in the crowd at the inauguration.

8. Lincoln suspends habeas corpus (1862)
The writs of habeas corpus are a person’s right not to be imprisoned unless charged with a crime and given a trial
Lincoln suspended these common rights in an effort to stop anyone from supporting the Confederate cause and to prevent those who encouraged others to resist the draft (conscription)
The suspension of habeas corpus was the result of draft riots in many
northern cities

9. Emancipation Proclamation
Lincoln, amid growing war casualties, used the Union victory at Antietam to issue the Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862.
The Proclamation:
freed only those slaves in the states in rebellion
did not free the slaves in the border states
gave the Union Army another reason to fight: the liberation of slaves
Which slave states were
unaffected by the Proclamation?
Why did Lincoln plan this?

10. Gettysburg Address

fort and Jefferson Davis orders
Southern troops to bombard it.
After 33 hours the garrison
surrendered, starting the Civil War
