Abraham Lincoln was the subject of death threats almost from the day he was elected [[President of the United States of America|president]] in November of 1860.  This made his trip to [[Washington]] and his 1861 inauguration all the more harrowing, at least to his bodyguards; at one point he switched [[train]]s in [[Baltimore]] and arrived at the Capitol in disguise.  In the summer of 1862 an unknown assailant managed to fire a bullet at him, putting a hole in his stovepipe hat as he was riding in a carriage for the Old Soldiers Home just 3 miles north of Washington (TL 26, pg. 10).
