Hi Professor.
Wasn’t there a conspiracy to kill Lincoln befoe he made it to DC. Was it foiled in Baltimore?

I’m not sure if there was anything of that sort proven. Memory is hazy, though. Excerpts in the next few days should shed light on the matter. Especially David Donald and Doris K. Goodwin.
I also recall getting through Baltimore required a lot of security. We vacationed on Maryland's Eastern Shore a few years ago and all of the Civil War monuments there are to the Confederacy.
