The North did not. But more to the point, when did the Lincoln administration do that?

Now it's time in Waltdom to argue that the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was NOT REALLY a violation of the Constitution, and Walt will prove it with a 16 paragraph post about Lincoln f*rting blue smoke one Tuesday in April 1863, and the Japanese seeing the blue smoke from Pearl Harbor.

Did you notice that the dogs didn't bark about your boxcar comeback:

Only in Waltdom. In Waltdom they sealed all those empty box cars for the trip back into the interior. No sense in using them to distribute imported goods from the port of entry to the purchasers.

No, it was not.

The Supreme Court backed everything President Lincoln did during the war.
