Commander-in-Chief Abraham Lincoln, of the united states, issues Proclamation 80, calling for 75,000 volunteers to subdue the Confederate States.
NOTES:
- No clearer example of treason under the Constitution for the united States was committed this day by Lincoln: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them [the States], or in adhering to their Enemies [northern industrialists and war profiteers in this case], giving them Aid and Comfort.”
- Democratic (constitutionalist) Governor Beriah Magoffin, of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, refused Lincoln’s call for his State: “I will send not a man nor a dollar for the wicked purpose of subduing my sister Southern States.”
