Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war."
