If you want to see the vireo of "The Confederate Bomb Plot" See Roger's post #13. There is a small blue "here" in his text. Click on it. It is the story of the Bomb Plot. Good Luck with it - I can't make it play all the way through.
The speakers don't know the White House very well. They talk about the Southwest corned to sneak into but then show the Southeast corner. But the blast goes off about 1/3 of the south face -to the west- away from the location of Lincoln's office. Lincoln's Office was located on the 2nd floor, one room removed from the corner. That would be the 2nd and 3rd windows on the 2nd floor.
But we know that was done by non-historians.
I was in WWII, in the Navy. We messed with Mines and Depth Charges. 1st off, two men cannot lift a depth Charge. Mines were always handled with a crane, (And I am talking about special composition powder.) Harney didn't have dynamite, (That came along later.) He could not have blown up the two floors of the White House.
(Unless the Confederacy had an Atomic Bomb. A tiny one) SARAHA
