RE: John Surratt
In trying to find a timeline for Surratt in Jampoler's book (there isn't one), I did find reference to a Senator Zachariah Chandler. I believe that Bill Nash mentioned being interested in Chandler in an earlier post somewhere on this forum.

Since I'm too lazy to find that thread, I'll just post what Andrew Jampoler said on page 47 of The Last Lincoln Conspirator: "In fact, some in Washington planned for an invasion of Canada up until the end of the Civil War. Senator Zach Chandler of Michigan was father to one such plot. His plan was that 200,000 veterans, half from the North and half from the South, would march into Canada. The purpose, as reported by a supportive contemporary, Senator William Stewart of Nevada, was to confiscate British possessions in Canada as compensation for Union shipping losses to British-built Confederate navy commerce raiders. Not coincidentally, going to war together 'to fight against a common hereditary enemy,' was expected to help heal the breach between the North and South. Stewart claimed thirty senators (of fifty) supported Chandler's idea and that only Lincoln's assassination, 'at almost the very instant the scheme was to be sprung upon the country,' derailed it."
