GDG- CSA and Lincoln

[rbrinton at charter.net]

  Interesting thread, that CSA / Lincoln assasination connection. I wonder why Davis, or any CSA authority with the power to carry out such a plot, would want Lincoln kidnapped / killed in April '65 ? Other than pure vengence , I can't think of a reason they could have had that would have served any purpose.
 I'd appreciate any thoughts the members might have on the culpability of Dr. Mudd. That seems to be, to this day, a controversey in some peoples mind. I, myself, think he was a victim of circumstances, although he may not have been personnally opposed to such a demise for the President. I'd be interested in your thoughts.
