The man who would have burned New York City

The Confederate agents would set a series of fires on Election Day, 1864. The fires would serve as a diversion while Copperheads seized government offices, took control of the police department, freed Confederate prisoners of war and then take the military commander, Gen. John Dix of New York, as a prisoner. By sunset, the Confederate flag would fly over City Hall.
