A minor official chosen by Jefferson Davis and sent to Canada to plan attacks on New York and Chicago that could have killed thousands. How does that fit in with your international agreements against targeting civilians?

You have proof he was sent to plan attacks against civilians? All the evidence I’ve seen is that he cooked up his hapless schemes which came to nothing on his own.


Nice try at changing the subject. A head of state could be a legitimate military target. According to you civilians were not.

Nice try at obfuscation. You have yet to show that Jefferson Davis or anybody in the Confederate government planned or approved of any of these various plots and schemes this one minor intelligence official cooked up on his own way up in Canada - all of which came to nothing.

I'd be interested in seeing your evidence because all the evidence I've seen shows he was assigned and financed by the Confederate government to organize attacks in Northern cities. Here's one account: Link

If they came to nothing it was due more to rebel ineptitude than lack of desire.
