Lyman Trumbull was an American lawyer judge and politician who represented the State of Illinois from 1855 to 1873. He was an abolitionist attorney, and key political ally to Abraham Lincoln. He authored several landmark pieces that was the legal basis for the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States [that would abolish slavery] and the Civil Rights act of 1866 which led to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. A wonderful legal document that has a signature of a significant and important individual in the abolition of slavery in the United States. Please see pictures.
