5. Two years before his assassination, Lincoln was shot at and nearly killed
Soon after “The Cotton Blockade” in the evening of August 1863, Lincoln decided to go to his summer residence alone, but something unexpected happened. A gun rang out, and a moment later, a horse bolted into the compound with a bareheaded Lincoln hanging from his mount.
A private guarding the gate heard the shooting, however, Lincoln didn’t want to make a big thing out of this and told the guards to keep this incident between them. As a matter of fact, the president was lucky because the two soldiers that found his hat said that it had a bullet hole right through it!
I guess a lot of people got mad after this incident that “happened to coincide” with the previous event we were talking about, and various sources said that a lot of Englishmen wanted him dead. But let’s agree to the fact that these are mainly conspiratorial theories.
You should send this part of the article to the part of The Republican Party that are trying to take voting rights and other freedoms away from people. ( Especially Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump).
I’m surprised that there is no constitutional amendment providing for how any state can leave the United States or stating secession can’t be done.
Thanks so much for these very Indepth facts about The Civil War. I personally learned an expanded information I was unaware of.
Very believeable. And interesting to read about.
Great synopsis of some very interesting facts that are not widely known. Thank you for enlightening us.
I didnt knwo that Sonewall Jackson was a Hypochondriac. Did one of his own men kill him by misake?
Don’t think of it as a mockery. Just proves that always thanking people is the right thing to do.
I am very interested in the history of the civil war. It is a shame Civil War Monuments were destroyed or moved!!
Our Congress people today need to read this and review our history. Especially about where we sll came from throughout the world, equal protection and the right fo vote. Certain ones come to mind more than others but all need a refresher.
Interesting. Knew some, didn’t know others. Good read.
