Few might think that the US Civil War issues were conducted in Washington DC in great secrecy. For the most part it was not. Although the Lincoln administration suspended habeas corpus, intercepted private mails, suppressed newspapers at one time or another, there was no real truly effective censorship. The Confederacy received more information from Northern newspapers than from southern spies. The locations of US Grant's cannons secretly placed against Vicksburg, became published public information. General Sherman's operations and plans for example, were also published in newspapers. For a time General Sherman was disposed to treat war correspondents as spies. He decided not to however. Foreign policy issues during the US Civil War also "leaked out".
