The '''Baltimore Plot''' was an alleged conspiracy in late February [[1861]] to assassinate [[President-elect]] [[Abraham Lincoln]] ''en route]] to his [[inauguration]]. [[Allan Pinkerton]], eponymous founder of the [[Pinkerton National Detective Agency]] played a key role by managing Lincoln's security throughout the journey. Though scholars debate whether or not the threat was real, clearly Lincoln and his advisors believed that there was a threat and took actions to ensure his safe passage through Baltimore.
