Very interesting sidelight of history. Oh how we need a Lincoln today! I still mourn for the great man.

Your post is going to bring out the Lincoln haters here on FR. There are many of them.

Recently, I watched a TV show about the assassination and they mentioned something that I had heard before. According to the show, Booth was seen handing something to the bodyguard before he entered the presidential box. They said no one knew what he was handed or what Booth told him. I found it almost unbelievable that there is no historical record of a police interview or investigation into the bodyguard.
This article makes no mention of the incident at all, so maybe it was just hearsay.

Yep, Lincoln enabled Sherman and his atrocites in 1864. That drops him 30 spots on the presidental list IMO

I don’t see anything wrong with what Sherman did.

Lincoln’s security was compromised by the Sec. of War who was behind the assassination plot.

Typical maturity from one of the most left wing people here. Typical lost cause myth - anyone who doesn't sign on to the confederate cause has just got to be a leftist.

Especially for the elderly, women, and children. Sherman and his pillaging gang had no honor. Would you say that the U.S. and British airmen who bombed Germany and Japan during World War II had no honor?
To: catfish1957
Sherman did right. He didn’t want to kill anymore Southerners, of which he was quite fond of, so he pushed for destroying property, wealth, and the ability to manufacture and feed, and to demoralized, and de enthuse the civilian Southern population, especially coastal Southern plantations that were key to popular and economic support for the Southern war effort. No longer would they read comfortably about distant and thrilling battlefield events. With Sherman, they would experience it.
You don’t know your history, or basic warfare.
