Since I wasn't in school for class yesterday I decided I'd blog today. Today in class we had a worksheet on the herbeas corpus, a law that basically stated a person couldn't be jailed for no reason. Lincoln suspended it since in the Constitution you could suspend it as long as it was during times of rebellion. At this point in time Lincoln considered the South as "States in Rebellion", giving him the right to suspend the herbeas corpus.
