Whether it was Lincoln OR Stanton, doesn't make a difference. If The Feds attempted to have Davis killed, they lost any & all moral high ground, and the Confederates were justified in doing what was done.

There is no hard evidence that either did so.

I would expect that the raid no longer be mentioned as being a legimate reason for the murder of Lincoln, since Lincoln had nothing to do with any plot against any of the Confederate leadership, as the historian himself admitted.

I disagree.
