Jefferson Davis and the Conspiracy

[L Verge]

John,

You know me well, so you know that I tend to agree with Tidwell, Hall, and Gaddy in their Come Retribution theory that the Confederate high command was well aware of at least the original plot to abduct Lincoln. I think it also explains the Harney plot to blow up the White House and the flurry of activity in Montreal as Richmond began to fall. Whether to place the blame on Davis or Judah Benjamin (or both)? I haven't made up my mind.

However, from the standpoint of having a war going on and making decisions from a military and political perspective, it makes sense that the Confederate hierarchy would plot such things. I also believe that the Union hierarchy would plot such things as the Dahlgren Raid. I will now await "execution" from this panel.
