It certainly had nothing to do with the actual attempt, which was made on President Jackson's life, PREVIOUSLY. I just think that trying to tie this letter and then the actual assassination of President Lincoln, years later by JW Booth, and calling the Booths a family of assassins or would be assassins, is a might extreme. The only real thread, which I would deem common, between the two events, is the Booth males seem to be reactionaries, which could or could not lead to murder. Lots of folks are reactionaries, and never even think of murder. JW Booth ended up to murdering a President, I believe his father's letter was the result of nothing more than an alcoholic putting his imbibed thoughts on paper. [font=Verdana][/font] |
