How did President Abraham Lincoln attempt to silence criticism of the US Civil War?

President Lincoln's conduct during the US Civil War was under constant scrutiny. In the North he had to suspend habeas corpus to silence Southern sympathizers. He used military force to stop draft riots and some newspapers critical of the war were put under pressure to not criticize his war efforts. The radical wing of the Republican Party quickly formed the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War as they believed Lincoln was too soft on dissenters and War Democrats were also critical of his methods. Maryland dissenters faced military action, while abolitionist newspapers believed Lincoln was not more vocal on slavery. The military officers were also unhappy and even Union General Joseph Hooker spoke openly to Lincoln about a military coup. In January of 1863, the governor of Indiana was threatening to form his own peace treaty with the South.Lincoln was under immense pressure. He even spoke about his own possible assassination. He was not even sure in the Summer of 1864 if his own party was going to nominate him for the presidency. Somehow Lincoln persevered despite all attempts to make his administration unstable, including the resignation of Salmon Chase.


What Union general was known as tardy George during the US Civil War?

George McClellan, an indecisive Union commander who Abraham Lincoln dubbed as having a case of "the slows." While President Lincoln was unhappy with McClellan was clear. What dims the harsh term used against McClellan was the fact that on two occasions, President Lincoln first promoted him to General in Chief, then reversed himself, then after relieving him of duty with regards to the Army of the Potomac, Lincoln then reappointed him to lead that army over the objections of his cabinet.
