Were There Assassination Attempts on Jefferson Davis?
Following Gettysburg, Jefferson Davis's popularity fell. The war was going badly, inflation, shortage of food, the union blockade was working. Battlefield casualties continue to grow. Desertion from the Confederate Army was a bigger problem than for the northern army.
Southern families needed and wanted their men at home.

Not counting the Dahlgren Raid, were there attempts on Jefferson Davis's life? Were there guards around the Confederate White House?
Did he have military or private protection when he was out in public?

For you writers and researchers, this could be the basis for an interesting article or book.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
