how did napoleon escape from elba?

I couldn't find any specifics, but since Elba is an island, he obviously used a boat of some sort. It also seems more than likely that the British aided him in his escape, if not directly (by actually supplying the means) then at least indirectly by supplying him information on the whereabouts of British navy ships, and "turning a blind eye" to what he was planning.\n See the site below for more.

Okay but this answer is pretty long.\n\nNapoleon's determination to implement the Continental System had led him to embark on the Peninsular Campaign in a further extension of the French Wars.  Although the attempt to conquer Spain was failing, Napoleon set about a greater task: the conquest of Russia.  One reason for this was that Britain had become involved in a war with America and Napoleon was convinced that Britain was on the verge of collapse, provided that the blockade of trade with Britain was carried out.  However, the Czar was making a big hole in the plan. The interview at Erfurt had merely checked the process of disillusionment which had been going on in Alexander’s mind ever since Tilsit. There had always been a strong anti-Bonaparte party at his Court, headed by the Czar's mother; and its influence was strengthened during the next few years. For instance \n\nNapoleon would not give definite assurances that he would not turn the Grand Duchy of Warsaw into a Kingdom of Poland  \nwhen Napoleon annexed northern Germany in 1811 he had dethroned the Duke of Oldenburg, the Czar’s uncle, with insultingly offhand talk of compensations elsewhere \nthe Czar was angry to discover the depth of Napoleon's opposition to Russia acquiring Constantinople in the war which Alexander had just begun with Turkey. \nThe main trouble was over the Continental System. The stoppage of trade with England meant the ruin of Russian commerce, and therefore of the Czar’s revenues; also of the corn-growing on which the Russian nobles depended for their own incomes. Alexander grew slacker and slacker in the enforcement of the Decrees, and Napoleon’s protests grew more and more heated. In 1810 the Czar forbade the importation of a number of luxury articles, such as wines and lace, most of which came from France, in order to redress his trade-balance. A year later he openly admitted British shipping to his ports.\n\nNapoleon thought that he could not let this go on. Ruinous as the defection of Russia was in itself, even worse was the effect it would have on other countries groaning under the System. He believed that he must make an example of the Czar that would intimidate other rulers who were “willing to wound yet half afraid to strike": He intended to give a demonstration of his overwhelming strength and determination but he was no longer the man he had been. \n\nNapoleon was growing old at an age when others were just coming into their prime. He was becoming fatter, less energetic and more cautious.  He made more military mistakes and his run of success had robbed him of all sense of the attainable.  He had begun to shut his eyes to unpleasant facts, and to ignore the voice of common sense.\n\nWhen in the middle of 1811 the clash became inevitable, Czar and Emperor competed with each other in the search for alliances. Austria was now bound to Napoleon by family ties following his marriage to Princess Marie Louise; moreover, however much the Emperor Francis of Austria- Hungary chafed against his dependence, he was haunted by memories of Campo Formio, Lunéville, Pressburg and Schönbrunn. He therefore agreed to mobilise an army on his Galician frontier with an understanding that he was to recover his Illyrian provinces at the end of the campaign. However, his new Chancellor, Metternich, had seen enough while he was the Austrian ambassador at Paris to realise that the Napoleonic Empire would not last much longer, and he privately made a “gentleman’s agreement” with Alexander that his army should do nothing in particular. \n\nIn Prussia, patriotic fervour was strong, but the King’s nerve had been even more shaken than that of the Emperor Francis. He was forced to send an army to cover the Baltic flank of the coming invasion, and to feed the invading host as it passed through his dominions. The Poles, too, remained faithful to Napoleon; he had done much for them, and would, they hoped, do more when he had conquered

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)(Napoleon I) was Emperor of the French (1804-1815) born in Corsica.  One of the greatest military leaders of modern times, he become a brigadier(1793) after driving the British out of Toulon.  In 1796 he married Josephine de Beauharnais and gained command in Italy, where he defeated the Austrians and Sardinians.  In 1798 on his way to Egypt he captured the island of Malta from the Order of Saint John.  In Egypt was defeated by Nelson at the Battle of Abukir bay.  In 1799 he returned to Paris where his coup of 18 Brumaire set up the Consulate.  As First Consul he enacted domestic reforms such the Code Napoleon while defeating the Austrians at Marengo(1800) and making peace with the British at Amiens(1802).  Efforts to extend French power led to the Napoleonic Wars(1803-1815).  After the Battle of Trafalgar(1805) Britain controlled the seas but Napoleon's Grand Army continued to score notable land victories at Austerlitz(1805) and Jena(1086).  The Continental System attempted to defeat Britain by a commercial blockde that led indirectly to the Peninsular War.  In 1810, after obtaining a divorce from Josephine, Napoleon married Maria Louise who bore him a son the future Napoleon II.  In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with a million man army.  Forced to retreat by hunger more than 400000 soldiers perished in the Russian winter.  In 1813, Napoleon was routed by a European coalition at Leipzig.  In March 1814, Paris was captured and he was exiled to Elba.  In March 1815, he escaped and returned to France, overthrowing the Bourbon King Louis XVIII.  The Hundred Days of his return to power ended with defeat at the battle of Waterloo(June 1815).  Napoleon was exiled to St. Helen where he died.

Napoleon lost the battle for a number of reasons:\nan accident of weather. As before all of Wellington's battles, it rained heavily all the previous night so Napoleon could use neither his guns nor his cavalry to their best advantage. His guns sank up to their axles in the mud and his cavalry could not charge uphill in the soggy conditions. The start of the battle was delayed for about two hours, so that the ground could dry out a little.\nWellington's tactics were superb. He refused to move from the high ground into the boggy valley, so the French had to take the battle to him, uphill and through mud.\nWellington used the "thin red line" and hid his troops: this surprised Napoleon, who had never seen this method of fighting. Wellington had perfected them in Spain while Napoleon was occupied in fighting elsewhere.\nWellington's smaller force held the French to a stalemate from about 11 a.m. (when the battle started), until about 4 p.m. Wellington was about to give the order for a general retreat following Napoleon's order for a general advance, when Blucher arrived and tipped the balance in favour of the Allies.\nNapoleon said he lost Waterloo because of the "obstinate bravery of the English troops" - many of whom were Irish. [1]\nThere is an account that Napoleon was not functioning at his best because of a medical problem. It seems that he suffered terribly from haemorrhoids (piles); his physician used leeches to alleviate the pain but during the night of 16 June, the leeches were lost. The physician gave Napoleon laudanum to alleviate the pain but by accident administered an overdose; consequently, at Waterloo, Napoleon's abilities were imp

No no no.  They have to get out of prison in order to prove Lincoln was framed.  Goverment conspiracies and such.  What exactly is "The Company" that the vice president is involved in.  And why did they fake her brother's death?  And why was it specifically Linc they wanted out of the way?  And of course, they'll be looking for everybody after they escape.  Sort of a Fugitive type thing.  There's plenty of intrigue to keep this show around for awhile and let us enjoy our favorite convict brothers.

that was where Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated; at Elba during the battle of Waterloo.\nHe had conquered so many territories that the whole world thought he was  invincible;and could not be defeated.\nThus,anyone who seems so powerful but is eventually defeated is said'to have met his Waterloo.'

I believe the man's name that jumped out of the plan was J.D. Cooper.I think i would be Jessi James. He robbed trains and i think it was because his family lost their homestead because of the railroad. I think he later got off into other things but his intentions were not to kill , just get back a little bit of a whole lot they lost to the railroad.
