Special Announcements:
On December 4, 1860, Outgoing President James Buchanan sends a distressed State of the Union message to Congress. In it he states that secession is unconstitutional, says the federal government lacks the authority to prevent it, and calls for a constitutional ammendment allowing Southern states to retain slaves as property.
A joint committee on the conduct of war is established by the United States Congress on December 9, 1861.
On December 8, 1863, Abraham Lincoln offered amnesty to Confederates who took an oath of allegiance, in a speach to congress.
The Thirteenth Amendment was ratified by twenty-seven states on December 6th, 1865. The amendment was subsequently ratified by additional states.
