Come Retribution The Confederate Secret Service and the Assassination of Lincoln by William A. Tidewell chronicles the covert plan targeting Union leaders.
The phrase "Come Retribution" was the actual Confederate Secret Service code word for covert operations targeting Union leadership.
The original plan was a kidnapping to capture President Lincoln adn force the Union into a negotiated peace treaty. John Wilkes Booth was recruited as a key operative for this phase. The kidnapping never came to fruition so a plan to bomb the White House during a scheduled meeting of senior Union officials unfolded. This too failed. With the plans thwarted, John Wilkes Booth took matters into his own hands with an assassination plot against Lincoln. This book outlines the Confederate plans and how their failure left Booth with his own plan. The book provides documents lays out plans for the plots.
