I don’t think the Business Plot wasn’t a failure after all. I mean, it’s kinda fucking obvious, isn’t it? None of the conspirators were so much as even charged with any crime. The congressional investigation confirmed the conspiracy was real…and nothing was done because “they changed their minds” at the last moment due to lack of funding.

Now that you mention it, I also thought about Nixon. He left without ever being charged with anything.
And now I immediately think of Reconstruction being quietly ended without accomplishing shit.
