One of the key differences between franchising and chain stores is the amount of risk involved. When a company chooses to expand with chain stores, it assumes all of the risk on its own. It funds the entire expansion project. By comparison, when a company franchises, it passes some of the risk onto other investors. Franchising represents less risk for the parent company, but it shifts the risk to the franchisee.

A Spooked Horse and a Holey Hat
President Lincoln was the subject of numerous assassination attempts. In 1864, 9 months before he was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth, he was riding to the Old Soldier’s Home outside of Washington DC, alone. A gun shot rang out, and his horse spooked. President Lincoln arrived, without his hat, at the old Soldier’s Home. The following day, two soldiers went looking for the hat, and discovered it on the path, with a musketball hole through the side.
President Lincoln, for his part, dismissed the incident as a likely hunting accident. He told the soldiers that rumors of an assassination plot would be more dangerous to the Union’s cause than silence. Later, he shared the story as s Sleepy Hollow-esque anecdote among friends.
“I can’t bring myself to believe that any one has shot at me or will deliberately shoot at me with the deliberate purpose of killing me.” – Abraham Lincoln
The Baltimore Plot

What later became known as the Baltimore plot and the Pinkerton plot was actually prevented largely as a result of the efforts of railroad magnate Samuel Morse Felton. In the North, President Lincoln was popular, but the South was already nervous before his inauguration. As Lincoln and his wife Mary planned their journey to Washington, D.C. by rail and without a military escort, Felton heard rumors of an assassination plan that would include the capture of railroads leading to Washington, D.C. and the seizure of the Capitol.
Felton called in professional help – the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Allan Pinkerton was shocked by what Felton told him, but took the plot seriously and set about preventing it.
Pinkerton hired Harry Davies, a young man who had grown up in New Orleans and had the uncanny ability to adapt himself to any situation, pick up new languages quickly, and blend in almost anywhere. The pair began their investigation in Baltimore, at that point, a slaveholding city with a strong secessionist political atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Lincoln planned an open arrival to D.C., with frequent stops along the route where he would meet the public. He also continued to receive death threats ranging from the expected (knife, gunshot, physical assault) to the highly unusual (spider-filled dumpling, poisoned ink) variety.
By February 17, 1861, both Pinkerton and Davies had encountered members of a plot to kill Lincoln. They had originally assumed that the danger was to the rail line, but now it became clear – the real threat was to the President-elect. The man behind the plot was the barber at Burnam’s hotel in Baltimore, a Sicilian immigrant by the name of Ferrandini.

Pinkerton sent word to one Sen. Judd, a member of Lincoln’s traveling “suite” and an associate of Pinkerton’s. Sen. Judd believed that Lincoln would not agree to a change in travel plans, and he was largely correct. Eventually, the pair was able to convince the President-elect to disguise himself and skip the Baltimore leg of the trip – a feat which required the help of a Governor, a female detective, a private train, Lincoln’s personal guard, and Pinkerton himself. On the morning of February 23, 1861, Lincoln’s train arrived as scheduled without Lincoln or his wife on it. They had passed through in the middle of the night. According to Pinkerton, a mob was to attack the President-elect with knives.

The reserved powers clause of the U.S. Constitution, found in the 10th Amendment, established that any power not specifically delegated to the national government reverts to the states or the people.
The United States Constitution specifically grants certain powers or authority to the federal government. In an effort to prevent the newly formed government from stepping outside its authority, or abusing its powers, an amendment to the Constitution was made specifying that all powers not specifically granted to Congress or the President are reserved for the states, or the people, alone.
The concept of reserved powers is rooted in the fact that people are closer to, and feel a loyalty to, their state governments. This was especially true when the Constitution was framed, as most people lived their entire lives within a small area of 20 miles or so.
The Tenth Amendment helped to clarify how much the nebulous federal government held over the people, and which powers would be governed by the people’s home states. In basic terms, any powers not specifically given, or “enumerated,” to the federal government, are within the authority of the individual states.
For example:
1.- Every day, Nate stands in front of the local Post Office, panhandling and sometimes picking pockets of the many busy people coming and going. One day, Nate is caught attempting to steal an expensive watch, and he is arrested. Because the crime was committed on the grounds of the U.S. Post Office, the federal prosecutor charges him with the theft.
Nate’s attorney points out that Nate’s pastime of stealing items from Post Office patrons does not reach the level of federal prosecution, as he did not commit the crime against the federal agency. Nate’s attorney further argues that prosecuting such crimes intrudes on the reserved powers of each state to maintain law and order.
2.- The federal government can levy taxes, borrow money, build roads, and establish courts. The state governments also have these powers. Some of the powers delegated to the federal government by the United States Constitution include the following: the power to coin money.
If youre talking about America, the south wanted to keep slavery, and the north wanted to get rid of it. thats <em>one</em> way they were very different.
