    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Manuscript copy of April 19, 1861, presidential proclamation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This hand-written copy of President Lincoln's proclamation ordering the blockade of harbors in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas opened the Civil War. On the reverse side of this manuscript is found the note "original copy from Pub. Printers Office Washington" which leads some to speculate that this manuscript is most likely the copy of Lincoln's proclamation generated by Secretary of War (Seward's) office and forwarded to the Public Printer's Office, Washington, D.C., for publication. The blockade proclamation came just a few days after the attack on Fort Sumter.  The original, signed by Lincoln, is in the National Archives.]]></dcterms:description>
