You can find performances of it on line. It's funny taking the humor of the time period. It was also hugely popular. Laura Keene originally was going to have it run only a week but ended up having a 151 show run in New York. Lincoln enjoyed the play due to its humor reminding him of his own upbringing.

Major Henry Rathbone attacked his children in a rage one December night in 1883, he then fatally shot and stabbed his wife Clara Harris (who had been in the President’s box with Rathbone), he then stabbed himself in the chest five times trying to commit suicide. He was declared insane and held in a German insane asylum (he was U.S consul to Hanover at the time) and died there in 1911.

Having studied Lincoln’s life thoroughly over the decades, I firmly believe that he had established the moral authority to significantly change the way African Americans were viewed and treated in this country had he lived. I’m not naive enough to believe that racism would have been eradicated, but the place Lincoln would have moved it to is evidenced by his publicly stated desire for AA men to have the vote, a right which would not be accorded to women until 1920. Lincoln’s loss to this country is incalculable.

The best part is that the Secretary of War was the only cabinet member not planned to be killed. Stanton was also the one cabinet member who hated Lincoln...

8:58 wait?! They didn’t carry Lincoln in a rocking chair. They just use their hands to carry Lincoln out of the theater. But still, he wasn’t shirtless, but after placing him on the bed, they removed it along with the rest of the clothing, according to Dr Leale in his diary.

​@@soslothfulthere is a lot of evidence it was James William Boyd they killed in the barn and not Booth. Anyone interested can watch a UKposts video called: Did John Wilkes Booth avoid capture and live another 40 years? He goes over a lot of the evidencein that video.

Shame they missed the vice president. Johnson is probably one of the worst presidents because of his southern sympathies and refusal to do anything to protect Freeman.

If there was an accurate movie on Booth and his other conspirators, Adam Driver better play him, they look nearly identical.

According to the book The Lincoln Conspiracy by David Balsiger published in 1977 Booth escaped Washington DC with a smuggler friend named Ed Henson and NOT David Herold. The book also says that Lewis Thornton Powell and Lewis Payne were 2 different people and although Lewis Powell carried out the attack on Steward Lewis Payne was found guilty. The book says confession statements by O'Laughlin and Atzerodt state that Payne and Powell were separate individuals. Evidence indicates that Payne was arrested and framed for his cousin, Powell's evil deed. Is any of this true? These facts in The Lincoln Conspiracy book differ from what I have read in all the other Lincoln Assassination books. The Lincoln Conspiracy book also says a man named James William Boyd was killed in Garrett's barn ant NOT Booth. Is that true?

🤣 This is how you tell me you're incapable of logical thought without telling me you're incapable of logical thought. Who have the Proud Boys murdered? Their sedition charges are nothing but a politically charged charade. Hopefully truth and justice will prevail.
