Francis Scott Key's Grandson Arrested by Lincoln Government: As
many of you probably know, Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of
habeas corpus as he saw fit, beginning on 27 April 1861. He
considered any person who did not openly and unconditionally
pledge his support to the war against the South guilty by his
own definition of treason.
In his defense of his actions Lincoln stated that "...the public
safety does require the suspension." "Arrests by process of
courts and arrests in cases of rebellion do not proceed
altogether upon the same basis....In the latter case the arrests
are made not so much for what has been done, as for what
probably would be done." "The man who stands by and says nothing
when the peril of his Government is discussed cannot be
misunderstood."
(These quotations taken from his speech recorded in the American
Annual Cyclopedia and Register of Important Events of the Year
1863; New York, New York; Appleton and Company 1870, pgs.
800-802)
In other words, what a man might do could get him arrested. And
a man's silence could also be a reason for arrest. Northern
Congressmen realised the danger and spoke against such
tyrannical opinions, to no avail.
Before the Maryland Legislature could consider secession,
Lincoln interceded and made sure it wouldn't pass any
ordinances. Members of the Maryland legislature were imprisoned
as well as other leading citiznes of Maryland. One of the men
imprisoned by Lincoln's edict was the editor of the Baltimore
Exchange, member of the Baltimore Bar, and grandson of Francis
Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner"!
Francis Key Howard was imprisoned at Ft. McHenry on 13 September
1861. While there he wrote:
"When I looked out in the morning, I could not help being struck
by an odd and not pleasant coincidence. On that day, forty-seven
years before, my grandfather, Mr. F.S. Key, the prisoner on a
British ship, had witnessed the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. When
on the following morning the hospital fleet drew off, defeated,
he wrote the song so long popular throughout the country, the
"Star Spangled Banner". As I stood upon the very scene of that
conflict, I could not but contrast my position with his,
forty-seven years before. The flag which had then so proudly
hailed, I saw waving at the same place over the victims of as
vulgar and brutal a despotism as modern times have witnessed."
What happened to Francis Key Howard? He and others were taken
from Ft. McHenry and sent to Fortress Monroe. They were
imprisoned because the Government "had in its possession ample
evidence of the fact, that all who had been arrested had in some
way violated the laws."
From Fortress Monroe, Howard and others were shipped to Ft.
Lafayette in New York Harbor and then to Fort Warren in Boston.
They were not released until 27 November 1862.
Francis Key Howard wrote this upon his release:
"Each of them had determined at the outset to resist, to the
uttermost, the dictatorship of Abraham Lincoln."
"We came out of prison just as we had gone in, holding the same
just scorn and detestation the despotism under which the country
was prostrate, and with a stronger resolution than ever to
oppose it by every means to which, as American freemen, we had
the right to resort."
All the information and quotations about Francis Key Howard were
taken from the book, The American Bastille by John A. Marshall;
Philadelphia, 1881;
Thomas W. Hartley Co. reprinted by the Crown Rights Book Co
Francis Key Howard wrote a detailed account about his arrest and
imprisonment and appeals to the Lincoln Government for release.
