Background
In December 1863, along with his annual message to Congress, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation declaring that whenever the voters of a seceding state re-established a loyal state government, it should be recognized. Under this plan, an election was held in the portion of Louisiana controlled by General Nathaniel P. Banks.
