Abraham Lincoln's First Amendment
Article Abstract:
During the US Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln faced much criticism and incitement to opposition against the war in the North. Lincoln responded by allowing some abridgement of speech rights, such as the arrest of Copperhead leader Clement L. Vallandigham. But, in the end, Lincoln believed that the actions he took were justifiable in constitutional terms.
