The Trial of Clement Velandigham
Clement Velandigham was arrested for making treasonous speeches against the war. General Ambrose Burnside ordered a squad of soldiers to arrest Velandigham, hoping to silence him once and for all. When they reported what they witnessed, Burnside ordered them to break down his door. On the other side of the bed, you find Velandigham cowering beside his wife. This is all simply more proof of Lincoln's despotism.
