RE: The Dahlgren Raid
I would disagree with David Long. Considering Lincoln was ok with Davis escaping after the war (showing the lack of revenge or vindictiveness) , I don't think he had the mind set of authorizing his assassination. The political repurcussions in the north and south of a Northern officer assassinating Davis (with Lincoln's approval) could have been a disaster. It would also hurt Lincoln's lenient reconstruction objectives.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
