GDG- CSA and Lincoln

[James Cameron]

<< The missing link in all of this is Secretery of State Benjamin who would 
have
been controlling all of these activities from Richmond.  Absent his papers 
or
testimoney, the researchers have had to rely on a lot of circumstantial
evidence.  I think they have done a pretty good job of making a case that 
the
Confederate government had a role to play in the Lincoln situation.  It is 
just
not clear exactly what that role was. >>

I think a lot of the problem is that you have here a cast of characters, 
most or all of whom were involved to some degree with the Confederacy or its 
Secret Service operations, either directly or at least, tangentially.  But 
this connection to some activities directed or sanctioned by the Confederacy 
doesn't necessarily mean that the Confederate government gave any higher 
level approval to an actual assasination plot.
