After Tubman performed a mercy killing for one of her troops, Wyatt explained to Tubman, dishonestly, that General George McClellan and Colonel James Montgomery sent them to help with the raid. Tubman went onto explain that Montgomery had all of his troops retreat after seeing how proficient the Confederates were, but that she would perform the raid with whatever men she had. She wanted to continue the raid even when Wyatt warned Tubman about a Confederate spy, and threatened Wyatt with death if he planned to impede her.

Later, Harriet Tubman can be seen helping hurt soldiers with herbal remedies. Lucy explains to Flynn that Tubman had a lot of experience in many aspects of the military, but would die in poverty after failing to get a military pension. Samuel then arrives after scouting out the Willow Glen Plantation, explaining that there are many slaves there, but also many Confederates. Tubman decides to take the risk, and try to free the slaves with the few men they have, but Lucy warns her that the spy will make this a fruitless en-devour. Flynn and Lucy then leaves to convince Colonel Montgomery to provide Tubman with reinforcements. Tubman isn't convinced they will be able to get reinforcements.

Later, when Wyatt, Rufus, and Tubman are preparing for the raid, Tubman realizes she saw Wyatt and Rufus in a dream that God had delivered onto her.

Isaiah informs Tubman that an unknown event is going on at the plantation, so Rufus is sneaked into the event as a house slave to gain information about it. While Rufus was in disguise, Harriet and her troops were noticed by a Confederate, who alerted those at the plantation. He was shot and killed by Harriet Tubman. After a fight with Wyatt and Rufus, Colonel Ryerson runs out of the plantation only to be shot and killed by Tubman with Colonel Montgomery's reinforcements behind her.

In the original timeline, on March 6, 1836, Santa Anna and his 4,000 troops kill 180 men in the Alamo in less than an hour, including notable figures Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and William B. Travis. The women and children of the Alamo were spared, and word of what happened at the Alamo spread throughout the United States. Travis' "Victory or Death" letter also escapes with the women and children. The letter is reprinted in many American newspapers and it motivates the United States to defeat Santa Anna's troops and annex Texas.

In the altered timeline, Garcia Flynn bribes Santa Anna with bars of gold he claims he got from Queen Isabella II. Santa Anna thinks Flynn is a spy sent by Isabella to meddle with him. Flynn denies that he will meddle with Santa Anna and confirms that he's there to help crush the rebellion.

Flynn later kills William B. Travis before he writes his "Victory or Death" letter to prevent it from giving the rebellion extra vigor. Santa Anna then raises the red flag, meaning that they will not spare the women or children. Flynn finds this objectionable, because the women and children are innocent. Santa Anna responds by saying that if they spare the women and children, the word of the Alamo will get out despite stopping the letter from being written. Flynn tries to make an emotional argument for sparing the women and children, because he knows what it's like to be a father and lose children. Santa Anna simply replies that war means that there will be sacrifices. Santa Anna in rage affirms that it's his war, not Flynn's, and he makes the decisions. He threatens to kill Flynn if he tries to interfere further.

Despite Santa Anna's attempt to kill the women and children of the Alamo along with the men, they still escape. They are able to escape because of Wyatt Logan's strategy to stall Santa Anna's forces long enough for Rufus Carlin to find a way out of the Alamo through the blocked aqueduct. Lucy Preston writes her own version of Travis' "Victory or Death" letter which escapes with the women and the children of the Alamo. The letter is delivered to General Sam Houston by John William Smith and it has a similar effect on the nation as Travis' letter. The United States is motivated by the letter and Santa Anna is defeated.

When Lucy is denied tenure at their mother's workplace, Amy encourages Lucy to quit and find a better job. Though Lucy is reluctant, Amy is persistent, telling her sister to "make her own future." (“Pilot”)

After Lucy travels back to the *Hindenburg* and returns home, she discovers that Amy was never born because of the timeline change. She later finds out that Henry and Carol never met, because Henry married the granddaughter of a *Hindenburg* passenger. (“The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln”) Lucy was distressed over losing her sister, but continued on the time traveling missions on the condition one day, she'd be able to save Amy. (“Party at Castle Varlar”)

Lucy eventually got permission to go back in time and get Amy back, but she was prevented by Rittenhouse and Carol from doing so, because Carol was desperate to stay alive. (“The Red Scare”) Emma Whitmore later told Lucy that Carol had her go back in time, and make sure Amy could never come back, which devastated Lucy. (“The War to End All Wars”)

Lucy eventually gave up trying to save her, deciding the risk of changing the timeline was too big to get Amy back. She named one of her daughters after Amy.

**Robert Todd Lincoln** was an aide to General Ulysses S. Grant in April of 1865.

### In the *Timeless* Universe

In the original timeline, Robert Todd Lincoln rides away from town with General Grant on Apirl 14th, 1865, the day of his father's assassination, and does not witness the event.

In the altered timeline, on April 14th, 1865, Lincoln met Juliet Shakesman, Lucy Preston in disguise, at Ford's Theatre to return tickets for General Grant. He also met John Wilkes Booth, telling him that he owed his family a great debt after Edwin Booth saved his life.

Later, Lincoln and Lucy meet again at the train station. The train had been sabotaged by Garcia Flynn to make sure General Grant attends the play at Ford's Theatre with President Abraham Lincoln. Because of the train malfunction, Robert and Grant decide to attend the play, despite Lucy's recommendation against it. Robert invites Lucy to see the play with them, believing that their two spontaneous meetings in one day must be fate. Lucy accepts the invitation.

While Robert, Grant, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Abraham Lincoln view Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre, Flynn plots to assassinate both Grant and Abraham Lincoln. Flynn bursts through the door behind Abraham, just as Booth did in the original timeline, but a little bit later. Flynn pistol whips Robert and shoots Abraham in the back of the head. When Flynn tries to kill Grant, he tussles with Robert and Grant until Lucy points a gun at him. Flynn flees after this.

After his father is declared dead, Robert breaks the news to Lucy. Robert thanks her for saving General Grant and leaves, likely to mourn his father's death.
