    This is interesting and also I’d ask the teacher to explain how to spell assassination.

    Lincoln didn’t have a secretary called Kennedy. His secretaries were named John G. Nicolay and John M. Hay

    Booth was born in 1838, not 1839

    Booth was a confederate sympathizer but was not a southerner. He was born in Maryland.

    This stuff is really easy to fact check…

      While true, Booth would be comsidered a southerner, being born below the Mason-Dixon line.

        Yeah that one could be argued either way really

        He was south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but back then that line divide free states and slave owning states. Only in more recent times has it become known as a divide between north and south.

        Maryland was a slave owning state but it never seceded or joined the Confederacy. It was very much so caught in the middle of the Union and Confederacy
