520    Everyone knows the story of Abraham Lincoln's 
       assassination in 1865, but few are aware of the original 
       conspiracy to kill him four years earlier in 1861, 
       literally on his way to Washington, D.C., for his first 
       inauguration. The conspirators were part of a pro-Southern
       secret society that didn't want an antislavery President 
       in the White House. They planned an elaborate scheme to 
       assassinate the brand new President in Baltimore as 
       Lincoln's inauguration train passed through en route to 
       the Capitol. The plot was investigated by famed detective 
       Allan Pinkerton, who infiltrated the group with undercover
       agents, including one of the first female private 
       detectives in America. Had the assassination succeeded, 
       there would have been no Lincoln Presidency, and the 
       course of the Civil War and American history would have 
       forever been altered.
