By the end of 1864, as the tide of the Civil War continued to turn against them, the Confederates hatched an audacious plan of action that would take the fight directly to Washington: find a time when President Lincoln was regularly out of the White House, and then kidnap him.

During the Civil War, a group of Northerners known as Copperheads hoped to force an end to the war with the Confederacy intact and slavery still legal. It would have worked, except for a Union spy who was embedded in their midst. Meet Felix Stidger: the James Bond of the 1860s.

The Copperhead movement was a coalition of several groups with varied histories & political goals, going back to the early years of the nation. But the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 activated their worst fears & inspired them to come together to fight against a common foe.
