I probably shouldn't help an outsider with US history, but I don't recall Lincoln outlawing Copperheads prior to the 1864 election.
Maybe he could cite Woodrow Wilson instead.....

For example, General Ambrose Burnside arrested Copperhead Congressman Clement Vallandingham and threw him in prison without formal charges for violating martial law. Lincoln vacated the conviction and instead expelled Vallandingham into confederate-held territory, effectively banishing him from the United States.

That didn’t happen in Mississippi, that happened in... Ohio.

... I don't recall Lincoln outlawing Copperheads prior to the 1864 election. Maybe he could cite Woodrow Wilson instead.....Two accurate and worthy points.
Aside: I accidentally pinged you (Tench_Coxe) to post #14 when I should have pinged mrmeyer, however you are right there in this discussion, thank you for your comment, NP. Sorry to all for the clerical error.
