How did the US federal government limit individual rights during the US Civil War?
There was civil unrest in the North during the US Civil War. Many people were considered to be Southern sympathizers or people simply against the war itself. At times the Lincoln administration had to, in their minds, declare civil emergencies and suspend the writ of habeas corpus. This was done extensively in Maryland, a border slave state, and in many other US locations. By suspending the "writ" people were jailed and not tried. Their property was sometimes confiscated.
