Lincoln instate martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus to stop the movement of Confederate troops on Washington .

<u> Explanation: </u>

In the year 1861 at the state of Maryland President Lincoln primarily suspended the Habeas corpus to bring a large number of civilian demonstrators into the military court and to stop the confederate troops marching towards Washington.

On the day of September 15, 1863, President Lincoln used his presidential powers to suspend the Habeas corpus all over the Union of those cases involving army man, conspirator, moles and war prisoners. This suspension order was in the long run extended based on the threat perception in the union.

Kobotan [32]

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, fought on June 25, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, pitted federal troops led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (1839-76) against a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Tensions between the two groups had been rising since the discovery of gold on Native American lands. When a number of tribes missed a federal deadline to move to reservations, the U.S. Army, including Custer and his 7th Calvary, was dispatched to confront them. Custer was unaware of the number of Indians fighting under the command of Sitting Bull (c.1831-90) at Little Bighorn, and his forces were outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed in what became known as Custer’s Last Stand.

Was the u.s justified in using atomic bombs to end the world war 2?
OleMash [197]
<span>The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was justified at the time as being moral – in order to bring about a more rapid victory and prevent the deaths of more Americans. However, it was clearly not moral to use this weapon knowing that it would kill civilians and destroy the urban milieu. And it wasn’t necessary either.
