Confederate agent

In 1864, Jefferson Davis commissioned Captain Thomas Hines as military leader of a secret and desperate mission. Hines attempted to sway the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, who were ready to join the Confederacy. A secret army of 100,000 was ready to strike. Chicago was ready for rebellion and New York City was in flames… Based on papers that were previously suppressed by the U.S. War Department, and the diary of Captain Hines, this is the astounding story of the great Confederate Conspiracy that came close to destroying the Union from within.
