President Lincoln traveled to Washington DC for his inauguration in 1861 by a secret nighttime journey. He took a long and covert route on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, passing through Maryland, a state with secessionist sympathies, to avoid threats and assassination attempts that had been made against him. This journey was organized and coordinated by his security team to ensure his safety.
