  • Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL RICHARD M. RE & CHRISTOPHER M. RE Voting and Vice: Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments A BST RAC T. The Reconstruction Amendments are justly celebrated for transforming millions of recent slaves into voting citizens. Yet this legacy of egalitarian enfranchisement had a flip side. In arguing that voting laws should not discriminate on the basis of morally insignificant statuses, such as race, supporters of the Reconstruction Amendments emphasized the legitimacy of retributive disenfranchisement as a punishment for immoral actions, such as crimes. Former slaves were not just compared with virtuous military veterans, as commentators have long observed, but were also contrasted with immoral criminals. The mutually supportive relationship between egalitarian enfranchisement and punitive disenfranchisement -between voting and vice - motivated and shaped all three Reconstruction Amendments. Counterintuitively, the constitutional entrenchment of criminal disenfranchisement facilitated the enfranchisement of black Americans. This conclusion complicates the conventional understanding of how and why voting rights expanded in the Reconstruction era. Criminal disenfranchisement's previously overlooked constitutional history illuminates four contemporary legal debates. First, the connection between voting and vice provides new support for the Supreme Court's thoroughly criticized holding that the Constitution endorses criminal disenfranchisement. Second, Reconstruction history suggests that the Constitution's

  • (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit
    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.

This is the final act in the distribution authorized by the Council September 24, 1892, which is explained in the librarian's report of April 24, 1895. And here I note the earlier action of the Council regarding the cabinet. On December 31, 1834, it was " voted that a Committee be chosen to report what disposition shall be made of the Printing Press presented by Mr. Thomas"; September 5, 1853, " voted to choose a Committee to consider the best mode of disposing of the Curiosities and Cabinet articles belonging to the Society. Chose Hon. Stephen Salisbury and Hon. Isaac Davis" ; and March 23, 1884, "voted that the Library Committee be authorized to make exchanges of perishable articles, in their discretion, as most for the interest Of the Society." The present revival of interest in Ex Libris matters may serve a good as well as a doubtful purpose. It has led to the securing of Thomas, Haven and Dewey plates for use in the books received from them or bought with their funds. I recommend the addition of a George E. Ellis book-plate, to complete our collection, and that the design be that adopted for those above named. Our founder's library— the basis of our great collection—has added value in the fact that his plate appears in so many of its books.
