Sketch of the Battles of Gettysburg, July 1st, 2d, and 3d, 1863.
In 1862 and 1863, the Union was able to turn back the Confederate invasion, but at great cost. The September 1862 battle at Antietam, Maryland, was the single bloodiest day of the war with over 22,000 combined casualties. The Union’s victory at Antietam gave President Lincoln the military ascendancy he’d been looking for as a prelude to issuing an Emancipation Proclamation to free all enslaved persons in areas that continued to rebel. [Please see the copy of the Emancipation Proclamation near the exhibition entrance.]Tags lincoln-section-3 -

Letter of Senator Douglas, Vindicating His Character and His Position on the Nebraska Bill.
Lincoln might not have returned to politics had he not been galvanized into action by new federal legislation threatening to expand slavery and prevent its gradual extinction, which he believed the founders intended. In 1854, U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas (Democrat, IL) proposed in his Kansas-Nebraska Act that the residents of new states be allowed to determine by popular vote whether to allow slavery. The backlash in the North led to the founding of the Republican Party. Douglas made the case to his constituents with speeches and pamphlets, such as the example above. Lincoln drew crowds when he spoke against the act and began appearing at Douglas’ events to offer rebuttals to the senator’s claims. In his “Peoria Speech” of October 1854, Lincoln made his clearest public statement yet against slavery: “there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.”Tags lincoln-section-2 -
The Alpha
Helen Pitts Douglass, second wife of Frederick Douglass, and Dr. Caroline Winslow co-edited the feminist newspaper, The Alpha. Published monthly, it covered both social and political issues. The Alpha advocated for reproductive rights, was enlightened about childbearing, and supported women’s suffrage, sex education, and the right of women to enter professions. The newspaper ran from September 1875 to August 1888, with Pitts Douglass ending her involvement around 1877. -
