The Day Abraham Lincoln was Assassinated - April 14, 1865

Indiana territory buro. Hides alot of history.

"Schuyler"- pronounced "Sky-ler"

Bishops book was a great read. Canton as well.

Could you imagine a modern day President and First Lady being turned down 15 times for an evening at the theater?

How do we know History hasn't lied?

It wasn't just Mrs Lincoln that people were declining to attend over, what history fails to mention repeatedly is that Lincoln was not popular even in the North and many did not like him. They viewed him as dragging them into a senseless war that got family and friends killed, and that allowed the rich to pay their way out of but not the poor. If immigrants had had the right to vote, like the Irish and such that were getting unloaded from the boats in NY then Lincoln wouldn't have won, because those same Irish and others that came over wanting a better life and were poor, were instead sent off to the meat grinder of war. Lincoln was not as popular as history tells us, nor did he want to make Blacks equal to Whites, he instead wanted to send them out of the US and off to Libya to establish themselves.

Many Americans worship Abraham Lincoln

Better at 1.25x speed... reeeally slow speaking speed of the narrator makes this almost unbearable

Absolutely top notch research, writing, and production!! (And that's coming from one allegedly decended from John Parker and with one with 17 years in law enforcement).

My Grandmother 👵🏻 Was A Southern Woman. But She Named One Of Her Rose 🌹 Bushes "Abraham Lincoln".
I Pray 🙏🏻 That She Is In Where President Abraham Lincoln Is!🥲

Killing Lincoln was a Jesuit plot.

This is the best presentation of the lincoln assasination I’ve ever heard!

Could you cover James Garfield's assassination and the two and half months leading to his death in September of 1881.

Sic semper tyrannis.

Few people talk about the conspiracy involved to murder this American Hero, and the 6 other people who were executed for this crime...........

It's good but I couldn't listen to it every time he takes an inhale sounds like a balloon is being deflated

The last 5 letters

How interesting you were alive in 1865, in the White House and all around to know these "facts".

All these co conspirators could’ve saved Lincolns life. All they had to do is speak up. Cowards!!

The co-conspiritors weren't the only simpletons. Booth was as dumb as the rest, maybe more so. The war was lost. All he did was ensure the South endured decades of horrendous Reconstruction, thinly veiled reprisal, leaving hard feelings that exist to the present day.

Lewis Paine was the Tex Watson of the Lincoln murder.

I thought it was said Booth gave Lincolns guard a slip of paper, maybe a calling card, before being allowed to enter. That's when he set up the stick to keep the door closed

R.I.P Dictator Lincoln

You state that Presidential guard, John Parker, was never charged...but that's incorrect. He was charged with neglect of duty, tried, and found guilty in May of 1865. But for some reason, the court's decision was over-ruled and disposed of the following month...Parker was subsequently released and he returned to his position in security at the White House.

There were 2 books written in the form of Jim Bishop's 1955 works. The 2nd was an illustrated larger book with the same name. The 1998 TNT TV movie was also very well done. I am a collector and researcher of Lincoln relating to his life and death. Bishop's book was excellent and I enjoyed it immensely.

Great writing, but in order to hear it, the listener must endure the hammy narrater, making it more about himself than the words.

تحيه من أعماق قلبي المحب للحريه والتحرر للرئيس العظيم ابراهام لينكولن.... ارقد براحه وسلام

Wasn't the Surratt boarding house on H St, and not M Street, which I think I heard you say?

The conspiracy to decapitate the GOP leadership by assassinating President Lincoln, VP Andrew Johnson, Secretary of State William Seward.

That was an interesting account, but at the end there is a picture of a newspaper that, based on the headlines, is allegedly from the day after the event. Yet the font of the print isn't consistent with newspapers at that time and there is a block beneath the image of Lincoln declaring: "Now He Belongs to the Ages." Every account I have read or heard claims Stanton's words were never recorded and supposedly he said; "Now he belongs to the angels" that morning. He changed it up later to lend the statement more weight and most people weren't even aware he said it until years after the assassination.

Lincoln was a Tyrant that suspended the Constitution, suspended Habeas Corpus, had Supreme Court Justices arrested, stationed soldiers with bayonets at voting stations only allowing Republicans to vote, had over 300 newspapers shut down (and their editors arrested) whose opinions he disagreed with and cost the lives of 625,000 Americans in an illegal war. Not a lawyer in the country would take the case against Jefferson Davis after the war because Lincoln fought his war with NO Constitutional right to invade the States.

Thankyou for this excellent podcast.

Simply stunning,

(Urgent Warning) Elvis Presley's twin brother Jessie Presley the "First Born Male Child" is"NOT" buried at Graceland with the Presley family members, the reason being they cannot find the body or the Grave of Jessie Presley, Jessie Presley will be one of the Great Signs from heaven spoken of in the book of (St.luke 21;11)"And Great Signs shall there be from Heaven", These Great Biblical signs will take place in the city of San Luis Obispo, California, The whole world will be Watching, all media's will focus on this Great Biblical event, WOW, or should we say, WOE !

Knowing what we now know about the government, this is probably mostly untrue.

You sound too much like a pastor.

See the problem with Lincoln is that he was just too tall to duck and it's kind of interesting that he couldn't hear a man creeping up and cocking a gun behind his back like that but then again it's also not really shocking that presidents are morons so basically if Abraham didn't listen to his wife he would still have been alive and obviously like all American history and culture the dubious nature of deceit is involved this was Grant's way of getting into Power by having him assassinated

Mary Surratt's boarding house was located at 604 H St Northwest according to the Library of Congress. Explain where you get your information.

Yeah there's one point I don't agree with. Booth himself said he broke his leg when jumping to the stage. In his day-to-day diary. So I can't buy the horse story

Full of needless detail. So much so it casts the dull light of disbelief on most of them. Thumbz Down.

I am a Canadian but have always been interested in US history. Thank you for all your efforts and work
I very much am enjoying this episode.

Absolutely riveting. A hair-raising nightmare even for those familiar with the events.

NOT BAD AT ALL..... DIDN'T KNOW THAT MANY LEADERS SAW LINCOLN THAT DAY.....😢😢

Very interesting. Minor point though, Schuyler Colfax is pronounced “Skyler” by the Indiana locals.

Just have to say, your voice and cadence is absolutely perfect! THX!

It's me for real aka Clarence Spencer aka meat meat good morning 🌞🌄

Great reading excellent job well done. First time I found your channel and I did subscribe.

This was extraordinary. Thank you very much. You presented this like it happened only a few years ago. The emphasis on details (i.e., the attention to detail, as we say in the Army) is amazing. Excellent work.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

the quote to Booth is wrong he did not say That means colored citizenship....The real quote was By God that means n igger citizenship..by God I will run him through. If your going to quote some one use the REAL language he/she used. Yes its offensive but we cant white wash history and make it all PC.
