RE: What if Booth Escaped?
Booth was already having trouble getting cooperation from confederate sympathizer's in sothern Maryland and northern Virginia. He could barely get in the house of Samual Cox for some food but no one wanted to give him lodging. He fooled the Garret's for a day or so but got kicked out to the tobacco farm when the they became suspicious.
I think he would have had a hard time getting all the way to Mexico without better support from the South. The remnants of the Confederate army would have quickly turned him in as well I believe. |
