Yesterday, we talked about habeas corpus and whether or not President Abraham Lincoln was justified in suspending it. We also talked about a couple of cases and if we agreed with the reason that their writ of habeas corpus was suspended. It seemed that most of the class agreed that anyone who said something, rather than actually doing something, shouldn't have their writ of habeas corpus suspended.
Today, we took Powerpoint notes on the Civil War until 1862. President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to defend the Union for approximately 90 days. By July, 1861, the volunteers were near the end of their enlistment and hadn't really seen any action yet. The battle of Antietam led Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
