Both in the investigation of source material, the quest for an understanding of the mass of data, and the critical analysis of the work from first rough draft to final book, this assistance has been invaluable. The official documents of conspiracies, espionage and counter-espionage upon which, to a large extent, the book is based could not have been identified and examined ex- cept for the intelligent co-operation and assistance of the staff of the National Archives, at Washington. In addition, the burden of the actual writing of the manuscript was greatly lessened by the courtesy of that institution in mak- ing available a workroom in which the book could be writ- ten. The sagacious advice and friendly offices of Dr. Solon J. Buck, the Archivist of the United States, have put me greatly in his debt. Dr. Philip M. Hamer, Director of Ref- erence, aided in many essential ways. Among others at the National Archives who cooperated, let me testify my appreciation to Miss Elizabeth Drewry, of the Division of Reference, who was of especial aid in indicating the location of pertinent bodies of material. Dr. Ralph Lounsbury's suggestions were pertinent, and Mrs. Nadene Boyer aided in many ways. Mr. Karl L. Trevor, the Librarian, was most co-operative, as was his assistant, Miss Irma Swank. The quest of pertinent documents in the chaotic mass of War Department records could not have been nearly so fruitful had it not been for the aid of Mr. Dallas D. Irvine, Head of the War Department Division of the Ar- chives, or that of Mr. Jerome Thomases, who suggested many interesting fields of inquiry; Mr. Robert Ballantine and Miss Marie Stark. The counsel of Mrs. Natalia Sum- mers, of the State Department Division of the Archives was most helpful; Miss Julia M. Bland, of that unit, was prompt and competent in supplying documents desired. In the general formulation of the plan of the volume, the author is particularly indebted to Dr. James G. Randall, of the University of Illinois, one of the most sagacious of [i±3 the historians of the Civil War period. Mr. Giles G. Hoffer, of Etna Green, Indiana, a graduate student under Dr. Randall, supplied some important original material and useful points of view. Mr. Alexander J. Wall, Secretary of the New York Historical Society, a long-recognized author- ity on the career of Horatio Seymour, was of aid; Mr. Lauriston F. Bullard, of Boston; Mr. Lloyd Lewis, of Chi- cago; Dr. William B. Hesseltine, of the University of Wis- consin, and Mr. Otto Eisenschiml, of Chicago, helped shape the pattern for the book. Captain Cecil Holland, U.S.A., whose volume on General John H. Morgan, is in the press; and Mr. Howard Swiggett, author of The Rebel Raider, helped clear up several gaps in the relation of Morgan and his aides with the fifth columnists. William H. Townsend, of Lexington, Kentucky, suggested several useful fields of inquiry, as did Dr. Thomas Clark, of the University of Kentucky, and Mr. Gilbert E. Govan, of the University of Chattanooga. The author wishes to express his appreciation of the interest shown by Dr. Christopher B. Coleman, the Director of the Indiana State Historical Commission, at Indianapolis; and to Leland R. Smith, Indiana State Archivist, and Mrs. Hazel Hopper, of the Indiana State Historical Society. Mrs. Frank Hutchinson of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, kindly accorded permission to make use of the H. V. Johnson letter, the original of which is in her possession, and aided the in research concerning it. Mr. Walter Locke, Editor of Dayton News, undertook helpful inquiries as to the manu- script and other records of Clement L. Vallandigham in Dayton. Mr. Wellington Wright, of New York City, fur- nished interesting data on Fernando Wood. Several thoughtful friends read the manuscript either in rough draft or final form, and were extremely helpful in forming the book's final shape and pattern. Mr. Edward Eyre Hunt's reflective philosophy was a useful guide to the evaluation of the factors in the fifth column struggle. The thoughtful, detailed criticism of style and arrangement needed by Miss Helen I. Slentz, of Washington, afforded a corrective to imprecise or repetitious writing. Miss Elmore Blaisdell, of New York City, gave many effective style ideas. The judgment of Dr. Pendleton Herring, of Harvard University, on proper perspectives proved most useful. Major Waldo Shumway, U.S.A.; Mr. Barnet Nover, the M military expert of the Washington Post; Mrs. G. E. For- bush, talented detective writer of Washington, aided in- dividual subject treatments. Judge Joseph C. Hutchinson, Jr., of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, of Hous- ton, Texas, and Dean M. T. Van Hecke, of the College of Law of the University of North Carolina, read the Vallan- digham case chapters critically. Dr. J. A. Hall, of Washing- ton, formerly of Paoli, Indiana, performed the same service for matters relating to Dr. Bowles and fifth column activi- ties in Indiana. But for the admirable and unflagging work of my secre- tary, Mrs. Pauline Rothfeld; and for the competent, atten- tive stenographic efforts of Miss Eleanor Wagner and Mrs. Janet Spiker, all of Washington, the production of the manuscript would have been greatly delayed. All three of them worked under extreme pressure to carry the narrative through from rough notes to finished manuscript. Mr. Joseph Greenbaum, of New York, prepared the index, with his accustomed meticulous care and skill. Undoubtedly this volume contains many errors of com- mission, omission, and evaluation. For these, the full re- sponsibility is mine. To the many who have generously aided the building of this book, let me express my heartfelt gratitude. Should some be interested in this picture of the way Abraham Lincoln defeated the Copperhead fifth col- umn, this will be my most enduring reward. George Fort Milton Washington, D. C. July 4, 19$ Cxi] Chaptek 1 LINCOLN FACES THE CRISIS Before dawn on Friday, April 13, 1861, a white-haired Prophet of Secession fired the first gun of the Civil War. The very morning that Beauregard's batteries bombarded Sumter, Abraham Lincoln, in Washington, received a com- mittee from the Virginia Constitutional Convention to dis- cuss with it the peaceful restoration of the Union. Before they reached the White House that fateful day, the President had unofficial reports from South Carolina that Fort Sumter had been fired on. He informed the dele- gates of these dispatches, and declared that he would "repel force by force." Lincoln was well aware that the crisis had come, and that catastrophe might be close at hand. For the next four years, this prairie politician commanded the ship of state during the nation's greatest crisis between Valley Forge and Pearl Harbor. The eighty years since Sumter have been marked by great changes in the tools of war. Today death swoops from the sky, slinks on the surface of the seas, and charges in strange steel chariots over the land. These improvements in the tools of destruction and their tactical employment have put a new fagade on the arts of war. But there has been little change in the constants of hu- man nature. In the Civil War, as in our war today, we find the same common denominators. Nobility and heroism are hardy perennials—and so are baseness and cowardice. There are patriots and traitors, and disturbed, upset, un- certain men between. In each crisis, we find appeasers, agi- tators of revolution, and counter-revolutionaries too. Again and again the best families have their quota of the spiritu- ally diseased. Lincoln knew intuitively the many-sidedness of the task. The things he did, the means he used, the foes he overcame, afford fruitful analogies. This is true in his duties as Com- mander in Chief, in his handling of foreign affairs, and in his leadership in the fight against the fifth column in the Loyal States. The literature of the conflict in arms is full of drama, death, and enduring fame.

  • Lincoln and Habeas: of Merryman and Milligan and Mccardle
    Lincoln and Habeas: Of Merryman and Milligan and McCardle John Yoo* Three cases define the Supreme Court's encounter with the Civil War: Ex parte Merryman,' Ex parte Milligan,2 and Ex parte McCardle.3 All three case names bear the styling "ex parte" because all three were brought on behalf of citizens detained by the armed forces of the Union. All three detainees sought release under the ancient writ of habeas corpus, which requires the government to demonstrate to a federal judge the factual and legal grounds for detention.4 I will explain why the cases of the Civil War did not assume the landmark importance, despite their circumstances and language, as a Marbury v. Madison, McCullough v. Maryland, or Brown v. Board of Education, but instead showed the deferential attitude of the Supreme Court to the other branches of the government during wartime. Merryman was a Maryland militia officer who had blown up railroad bridges between Washington, D.C. and the North, and was training secessionist troops in the earliest days of the Civil War.5 Milligan was an alleged member of an insurgent force in Indiana that was sympathetic to the Confederacy.6 He was tried and sentenced by a military commission-an old form of ad hoc military court established by commanders for the trial of violations of the laws of war and the administration of justice in occupied territory.7 * Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law, Chapman Law School (2008-09); Professor of Law, University of California at Berkeley; Visiting Scholar, American Enterprise Institute.

Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

  • Ex Parte Milligan, 1866 SUPREME COURT CASE STUDY
    Ex Parte Milligan, 1866 SUPREME COURT CASE STUDY Background of the Case In 1864 during the Civil War, Lambdin P. Milligan, a civilian resident of Indiana who was violently opposed to the war, was arrested by order of the commander of the mili- tary district of Indiana, General Hovey, for his part in a plot to free Confederate war prisoners and overthrow three state governments. He was tried in a military court even though state courts in Indiana were still functioning. The military court found Milligan guilty and sentenced him to death. This sentence was approved by President Andrew Johnson. Nine days before he was to be hanged, Milligan petitioned the United States Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is an order requiring that a pris- oner be brought before a court at a stated time and place to decide on the legality of his or her detention. Milligan claimed that the proceedings of his conviction were unconsti- tutional and that he was denied the right of a trial by jury. As a citizen of Indiana who was not in the military, Milligan claimed he should not have been tried by a military court. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court. Constitutional Issue The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and raise armies to fight the war. In order to carry on a war, the federal government often assumes powers that would be illegal in times of peace. As Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes stated in 1934,“the war power of the Federal government .

Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

    SPECIAL REPORT DECEMBER 2011 DRUG DELIVERY REVIEW AND OUTLOOK INDUSTRY GROWTH TO CONTINUE THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGIES The worldwide drug-delivery arena is growing each year as the increasing aging population is in need of improved methods of administration for products and therapies. Drug-delivery industry growth is being led by the United States as well as emerging markets. Oral forms remain the preferred method of drug-delivery administration. Gaining in popularity are parenteral, inhalation and implantable systems. Elements impacting the development of drug-delivery systems include reimbursement, environmental factors, and regulatory processes. Product developers are coming up with better ways to improve therapy performance and safety as patients become more involved in their treatments in an effort to cut down on costs. New electronic technologies for reusable systems and disposable devices are leading to improved sales of auto-injectors. Microneedle technology is on the rise so that medicine can be precisely delivered to areas in need of treatment.
