The following shared by my friend and LASD ret, George
Bachmeier:
The president-elect won the election with less than 40% of the
popular vote but had the majority of electoral votes. The Republican
Party had put forth a candidate to win several crucial states that
could swing the Electoral College. The election was a bitter one
with the Democrat Party fractured between two candidates.

The incoming president received so many
death threats that he
chose to arrive in Washington in secrecy. The security for the
inauguration was the tightest ever with troops stationed on
buildings throughout the day. This was an unprecedented
amount of protection for any president-elect. Many
members of Congress chose not to attend the ceremony.

16th president on March 4, 1861.

Justice. All related about a fire in an "empty" building inhabited by young
people...like the one in Oakland.
