OK, then how about a recap. What made you say that Lincoln himself personally ordered the murder of Davis? After all, General Meade investigated the matter at the request of General Lee and issued a written assurance that "neither the United States Government, myself, nor General Kilpatrick authorized, sanctioned, or approved the burning of the city of Richmond and the killing of Mr. Davis and his cabinet, nor any other act not required by military necessity and in accordance with the usages of war." So how could he have missed this personal order of Lincoln's that you claim existed?
Well, this article claims that Kilpatrick's raid was EXPRESSLY for that purpose, and gives some good reasons and backs it up. I will try to dig up the issue # etc.
