dc.description.abstractThe decision to employ military commissions to try conspirators in Indiana in 1864 was more complicated than historians have previously understood. Many persons contributed over a long period, but President Abraham Lincoln made the decision based on his calculations about his chances of being reelected. Fearing that he would lose the fall election, Lincoln took the expedient step to try conspirators by military commission.en_US
