on Thursday, November 19, 1863 and Lincoln wanted desperately to speak at Gettysburg. It was an opportunity to boost the Union's war effort and to solidify political support in the state of Pennsylvania. (eyewitnesstohistory.com/gtsburgaddress.htm)
Frederick Douglass convinced President Abraham Lincoln to take a stronger stance on emancipation during the Civil War. Through his advocacy, Douglass urged Lincoln to make the abolition of slavery a central goal of the war, which ultimately led to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Douglass also pressed for the recruitment of Black soldiers into the Union Army, which Lincoln supported, recognizing the significant contributions they could make to the war effort.
After defeating General Lee first attempt to invade the North (Gettysburg would be the second and last attempt), President Lincoln (who waited for a Union military victory) announced the Emancipation Proclamation, the beginning of the end of slavery in the USA. President Lincoln waited for a Union victory, to give the document some credibility. Announcing the Proclamation after a lot of defeats, would be a wasted effort.
President Lincoln spoke about the Gettysburg address for two minutes. The Gettysburg address was a speech written to address the Union's war effort and to solidify support in the state of Pennsylvania.
Under President Abraham Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, four states reentered the Union: Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Virginia. Lincoln's approach aimed to facilitate a more lenient and swift reintegration of these states following the Civil War. Each state had to establish a new government and adopt a new constitution that abolished slavery. This plan was part of Lincoln's broader effort to restore the Union while promoting reconciliation.

copperheads were mid westerners that sympathized with the south and opposed abolition
The Copperheads were a group of Northern Democrats who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. They were also called Peace Democrats, because they were in favor of a compromise peace. The Confederates believed that if they could prolong the war, and cause enough war-weariness in the North, Lincoln could lose the 1864 election. If so, the South might gain its independence. Unfortunately for the Copperheads, the fall of Atlanta in September 1864 meant that the Radical Republicans prevailed, and Lincoln was re-elected. By the time of his assassination on April 15, 1865, the war was essentially over.
The Lincoln Memorial is in the nations' capitol, Washington DC. It is a tribute to Abraham Lincoln. Rightly so, for it is through his effort as US President during the Civil War that the nation was preserved.
The Copperheads were the anti-war Democrats, and they had a lot of say at the Democratic Party Conference of 1864, when Lincoln was still looking as though he would be voted out. If the Democrats had won the election, there would probably have been a negotiated peace, and the South would have had their independence.

President Abraham Lincoln suspended writs of habeas corpus during the Civil War, particularly against the Copperheads—Northern Democrats who opposed the war and sought a negotiated peace with the Confederacy—due to concerns over national security. He believed that their anti-war activities and rhetoric could undermine the Union effort and potentially incite rebellion. By suspending habeas corpus, Lincoln aimed to maintain order and prevent dissent from destabilizing the government during a critical period. This controversial decision was justified as a necessary measure to preserve the Union.
Because he admired President Lincoln and his efforts-APEX
As the US Civil War unfolded, it was necessary for President Lincoln to make generalship appointments. For the most part he used genius, intellect and character to make many of these decisions. However, the nation being as it was, Lincoln had to make "political appointments" to generalships. This usually ended up badly for the Union's war effort.
Did Lincoln find a chief of staff to orchestrate the federal war effort?
