Gov. J.B. Pritkzer and his wife, M.K., donated a key document from the Civil War to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his wife, M.K. Pritzker, listen to speakers during a remembrance ceremony honoring the victims and survivors of the Highland Park shooting on July 4, 2023, in Highland Park. On Tuesday, the Pritzkers donated a historic document to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
“This was an act of leadership that required careful consideration but also courage and immediate action to take every action possible to keep the nation intact,” the governor said to a small audience during a ceremony at the library, flanked by his wife, moments before the framed document was unveiled. “To me, this document and the museum as a whole serves as a reminder of how far we’ve come as a nation.
But U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles felt the Navy was too small and ill-equipped to properly patrol the roughly 2,500 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico shoreline. Welles advised that a port could be closed and law enforcement could search and seize vessels with contraband if necessary, which would effectively impose an embargo, Hunt explained.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his wife M.K. donated Abraham Lincoln’s order to begin the process of blockading Southern ports, his first direct military action against slave states attempting to secede to the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
