24Lincolns 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.
25Lincoln 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
26Emancipation 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 -

27Gettysburg Address

speech at Gettysburg to dedicate the Gettysburg
National Cemetery - Lincoln used the speech to redefine the purpose
