The Pre-War Plot to Kill President-Elect Lincoln An Excerpt From Dixieland Deceived
January-February, 1861 Knights of the Golden Circle Plot to Kill President Elect Lincoln
Recall that President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s two predecessors, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan, were both fortunate enough to survive a pair of deadly incidents preceding their own inaugurations, with Pierce seeing his son decapitated during a train derailment, and Buchanan surviving the National Hotel Disease which sickened him, but killed his nephew and many others.
Baltimore, Maryland was a deeply divided city where North and South blended. Lincoln, during a whistle-stop tour in route to his inauguration, was scheduled to stop in Baltimore - just 40 miles from Washington. A nurse named Dorothea Dix relayed rumors of a conspiracy to kill Lincoln to the attention of Samuel Morse Felton, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad. Upon hearing Dix’s report, Felton took the precaution of contacting railroad detective Allan Pinkerton, founder of the legendary Pinkerton Detective Agency. Pinkerton gathered some of his best detectives to aid with investigating this matter. They then traveled to Baltimore.
Pinkerton and several of his agents infiltrated the meetings of the Knights of the Golden Circle. They learned that KGC planned to assassinate Lincoln when he arrived at the Baltimore train station on February 23. As the Pinkertons were uncovering the conspiracy, General Winfield Scott,who was in charge of Lincoln’s safety, also learned about the threat from his own sources. Scott then warned Lincoln’s future Secretary of State,William Seward, of the danger.
On February 21, Lincoln’s train arrived in Philadelphia, where an estimated 100,000 people welcomed him as his carriage rode through the city. After arriving at his hotel late that evening, Lincoln received a note to urgently go to the room of his advisor, Norman Judd. When Lincoln entered Judd’s room, he was introduced to detective Pinkerton. Lincoln listened intently as Pinkerton told him that when his train pulled into Baltimore, a mob of radicals armed with guns and bombs would be waiting to murder him as he changed trains. Pinkerton urged Lincoln to go directly to Washington, D.C. that night.
While Lincoln was concerned, he said that he would consider the warning, but made no change of plans just yet. But before Lincoln could go to bed that night, Frederick Seward, the son of William Seward, arrived bringing a letter from his father that told of General Scott’s warnings. This second warning, issued independently of Pinkerton’s, convinced Lincoln that the threat was real and that he should take the necessary precautions.
The following day, still in Pennsylvania, Lincoln and his advisors met again with Pinkerton and devised a plan to take a secret train into Baltimore. Instead of Lincoln taking his scheduled train the next day, Pinkerton immediately transported him to a different station with an earlier train heading toward Baltimore. Pinkerton had Lincoln don a disguise as they departed.
The nearly empty night train arrived at 3:30 in the morning of what was to have been the fateful day of Lincoln’s murder, February 23rd. The most dangerous leg of the secret trip still lay ahead. To reach their final destination, Lincoln had to ride in a carriage to another Baltimore train station over one mile away, to catch a final train to DC. Ultimately, the crew arrived safely at six in the morning. When it was learned that Lincoln had arrived in DC after skipping through Baltimore in the wee hours of the morning, elements of the hostile Democrat press mocked him and attacked his masculinity -- with cartoonists portraying a disguised Lincoln sneaking into DC.
According to Pinkerton, the ring leader of the KGC “Baltimore Plot” was an Italian named Cipriano Ferrandini, who had immigrated from his native Corsica to Baltimore in the early 1850s. He worked as a hairdresser and barber, but was president of the pro-Confederate “National Volunteers” and had previously traveled to Mexico to stir up pro-Confederate secession activities there. Ferrandini had international intriguer written all over him, and he was connected to several high society types in Baltimore.
In Pinkerton’s 1883 memoir, The Spy of the Rebellion, he recounted a covert meeting with ring leader Ferrandini. Pinkerton, undercover of course, attended a meeting chaired by the Italian radical. When one of the plotters asked: "Are there no other means of saving the South except by the assassination of Lincoln?" Ferrandini, according to Pinkerton, replied: "No. He must die-and die he shall. And if necessary, we will die together." (1)
As anyone familiar with the numerous “in broad daylight” bomb, gun and knife attacks on European kings, presidents and prime ministers of that era knows, these radicals didn’t care about being caught or killed in the process of their dirty deeds – acts which came to be known as “Propaganda of the Deed.” Google that term and see. The question is, who, at the top of the pyramid, was unleashing these “spontaneous” suicidal fanatics.
Italy at that time was a hotbed of revolutionary secessionist / nationalist activities involving fanatical secret societies serving invisible masters. The fact that this Corsican barber, not even an “American” for 10 years yet, was so active in, and passionate about, the tearing apart of the Union marked yet another fingerprint linking the origins of the crisis to Europe, and players such as certain Freemasons and, of course, the affiliated Rothschild Cabal.
The bloody barber of Baltimore was questioned by a Congressional committee in February, 1861. When asked about the assertions made about his plot, Ferrandini maintained that he sought only to keep Union troops out of Baltimore. For lack of hard evidence, he was not charged. Ferrandini would be arrested during the coming war, but was quickly released. He continued to work in Baltimore as a barber until he retired in the 1870s. He died in 1910.
It is most disappointing, though not at all surprising, to witness so many modern day “historians” still discount the Baltimore Plot as “conspiracy theory” with “no hard evidence.” In so doing, they have chosen to take the word of an admitted political radical, who was not even an American, over the testimonies of General Scott, Detective Pinkerton and several other detectives who worked on the case.
Even though most historians take the pro-Union position and rightly admire Lincoln, the deadly “sin” of engaging in “conspiracy theory” must never be committed in Quackademia. You see, once the people go down that route and begin to understand that conspiratorial activity has actually always been and continues to be standard operating procedure of the ruling class of any given historical period, then too many embedded lies about so many other events -- (including contemporary stuff!) -- are placed at risk of being reexamined and exposed. For this reason, the “usual suspects” who control education will only and always promote “coincidence theories.”
