Lincolns 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.

Lincoln suspends habeas corpus (1862)
  • The writs of habeas corpus are a persons 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

7
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 UnionArmy another reasonto fight
    theliberation of slaves
  • Which slave states were
  • unaffected by the Proclamation?
  • Why did Lincoln plan this?

8
Gettysburg Address
  • In November 1863, Lincoln gave his now famous
    speech at Gettysburg to dedicate the Gettysburg
    National Cemetery
  • Lincoln used the speech to redefine the purpose
    of fighting the war the reunification of the
    Union
