Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of letters or speeches in which Jefferson, Madison, or Washington discussed the Militia and Insurrection Acts in a way which sheds light on how they may have viewed Lincoln's call to arms. Does anything that they wrote about the subjects suggest that they would not have seen Lincoln as using those laws as the did?
