Governor Berry led the state through the Civil War. At cease of its signers, he read the Altooma (PA) Conference letter to Pres. Lincoln in Washington. The letter pledges 22 governors' support of the Union cause via a commitment to provide additional soldiers to the war effort, as well as supporting the Emancipation Proclamation, issued Jan. 1, 1865. Berry was instrumental in the creation of several NH regiments, including the Ird, home of the Nevers Bead, still active today.
