Nobody tried to assasinate Jefferson Davis


He was the Confederate president and nobody in the Union tried to (or succeeded) at assasinate for or at the very least trying him for treason.

Sure President Lincoln gave his orders to make peace with the South at the end of the war, but no rouge elements of the Union cause never tried to make a move against him or any other members of the Confederate leadership.

This sends a clear message that the Union supported the cause of the Confederate States of America. I'm surprised ruthless annihilation wasn't the policy of the Union.

the King's name is a tower of strength

How on earth do you figure that? 

Look, assassins are almost always independent, and their activity or non-activity do not remotely reflect upon the agendas of political fractions. Even in the cases where assassins are not independent, the organisation they belong to are usually small terrorist groups - it is exceedingly rare for one political party to attack another via assassins, I don't care what they say on Game of Thrones.

Example: Anders Behring Breivik was for a brief period a member of the Norwegian Progressive Party. This does not mean that he was acting on their behalf, or that mass murder was on their agenda.

Oh really????

That's about the most convoluted meaningless statement I've ever read.

Yeh, The United States spent a billion dollars and sacrificed 350,000 of its young men because it supported the rebellious states?

Is that what they're teaching you in school?

Nah, gotta be a troll. No one can be that stupid.

Never mind. Plenty of you are that stupid.

Hillary Clinton will never be POTUS.
That's what matters.

Look up the Dahlgren Affair if you think an attempt on his life was never made.

The assassination of Lincoln had nothing to do with North vs South and everything to do with Greenbacks and central banking. The disgruntled Confederate was just cover.
