Back on April 20th and 21st, IO started the list. These are from the March 4th List Universe.
3. IF HE VISITS, THEY FIGHT-- Confederate President Jefferson Davis took a tour around the South from November to December, 1862. He visited Army camps at Fredericksburg, Va., Murfreesboro, Tn., and Vicksburg, Ms.. Within a few months, every site would have action: Fredericksburg Dec. 13th, Murfreesboro Dec. 31st-Jan. 2nd, and Chickasaw Bluff Dec. 28th.
2. SAME PLACE, SAME THING-- Stonewall Jackson and James Longstreet were shot a year apart in the same manner about a half mile apart. Both were shot by friendly fire, Jackson at Chancellorsville and Longstreet at the Wilderness. However, Longstreet recovered.
1. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON-- Junius Booth, father of John Wilkes Booth, sent a death threat to President Andrew Jackson in 1835. He wanted Jackson to commute the sentences of two men accused of piracy. However, he never carried through on the threat.
