Legendary Abraham Lincoln

Legendary Abraham Lincoln – The President in the Shadows – It became clear to President Lincoln that he was best suited to guide his beloved nation back to peace, but he could not do so from within the White House. Using his ever-expanding web of agents, Lincoln staged his own assassination in 1866, freeing himself to take direct control of the nation’s covert defenses, while his vice-president, Andrew Johnson, a capable yet unimaginative bureaucrat, remained the public figurehead.
