the assistant secretary frederick seward, the son of william seward, nearly.and to death by the handle of a gun and a knife on the way to william seward's bedroom. at the lincoln murder conspiracy had fruition, you could had a situation with no president, no vice president and no secretary of state or assistant secretary of state with constitutional authority to make the president pro tem the acting president or call a special election. not a wild conspiracy theory, that almost happened. the most interesting close calls before we go to questions and answers, a woman in her purse and how she saves the new deal. fdr is president-elect, arrives in miami abortion, norma hall which is vincent astor's private yacht and gives his first speech in miami, sitting on the back of a buick delivers the speech, and italian immigrant fires 5 shots in 15 seconds at him. the bullets would have hit fdr except the 100 pound woman standing next to the assailants, sign. 's 32 caliber, moved her purse from one arm to the other inspectors gun with enough force to be able to afford th

or through a weed, who realizes heheha has blown it for seward. and david davis who can't believe that he pulled it off. help came from other directions. the guy in a left, is josephthet metal, who is a founder of thery chicago tribune. and also the person from the new york spe tribune. they were writing editorials costly saying lincoln is yourle man, but with lincoln. and herey is an example of how crazy things can be at ato convention. greedily, was ready to get on the convention floor and dointo everything he could to stop. .eward he managed to get himself a delicateoreg from or jurgen. oregon. as it stood out somebody stuck a sewardlize button on him. but really is going through the crowd, and he is just thrillede that he has been able to help in this. mettle and his people are happyb that they could help their local guy. so now we have a candidate abraham lincoln, and he has to have a running mate, and againu usually the convention chose runninggru mate, and balance, wf got abraham lincoln of illinois how nibble hamilton of maine, from maine

weed, a close friend to seward. he tells seward, get the message to the president, voters want peace and they may reject lincoln just on the peace platform. mcclelland has a peaceful platform, lincoln doesn't have a peace platform. alexander mcclure, pennsylvania editor, politician, republican leader, reflects on the election of 1864, about in 1876 when he is writing his history. he says, at no time from january 1, 1864, through september 3, 1864, was there a time that lincoln -- excuse me, that mcclelland could not have defeated lincoln. january 1st to september 3, 1864, if the election had been held on any of those days, said we would have had president mcclelland. the 1860 republican victory as a predictor of the 1864 election, some of these things we know. i'm not going through all of them right now. but there was a manifesto where three diplomats said we need cuba because the west is getting closed off to us, so we're going to get it one way or the other way. we're going to ask spain to sell it to us or we will

another conspiracy went to kill william seward who is secretary of state.he was in his meeting and stops him repeatedly so he almost die dies. so what happens there is no secretary of state? shockingly the president on - - the constitution is clear because then it is the assistant secretary that is the son of william seward who was nearly bludgeoned to death by the handle of the gun and the knife on the assassins way into his bedroom to stab him. so had the conspiracy come to fruition and with that assistant secretary of state with the constitutional authority to make the acting president. and those two interesting close calls. and then in the first of the new deal or as president-elect and in that private yacht the first as president-elect in miami and sitting on the dock of a buick to delivers a speech and the italian immigrant fires five shots and 15 seconds they would have had fdr but a 100-pound woman was standing right next to the assailant saw him pull out the 32 caliber moved her purse from one arm to another and messed his gun with enough force so

the first person that gets this piece of paper to sign is william seward, secretary of state. he signs it, he passes it on to the department of treasury, who has also been on the joint committee on the war that we talked about this morning. he passes it on to edward stanton, secretary of war that we lesarned is in the hands of the radicals and he is on for ben wade. gideon wells gets it next. ed bates passes it to ed usher. usher gives it back to lincoln and they're living in suspense. is lincoln going to say you've got your names here, sort of like a contract, and i've got to tell you what you signed on for. he doesn't do that. it goes into his coat pocket, he holds onto it and then he starts his meeting. so this is called the blind memorandum because who is blind? the cabinet people signed a blank piece of paper, what they thought the message was inside, but he didn't tell us what it was. it starts like this. this morning was for some days past, it seems probable that this administration will not be re-elected. they never saw that. they never saw what they signed on for. fil
