This Day in the Civil War Monday May 25 1863


Rep. Charles L. Vallandigham, D-Ohio, would in a later time have been known 
as a diehard peacenik. He opposed secession but also opposed the war to 
prevent it, and he opposed Lincoln. Last year he had visited an Ohio 
regiment in camp near Washington and had been the target of rocks and 
garbage. Finally he was arrested for treason for expressing allegedly 
pro-Confederate sentiments, and sentenced to prison. Lincoln changed the 
sentence to exile from the United States. Today Vallandigham was turned 
over to Confederate authorities in Tennessee.
