I am in complete agreement with your assessment. Betty. It was so bad, I was actually laughing. But upon consideration, after it was over, I realized it wasn't funny. There is no reason why they couldn't have been more accurate. Nothing about any part of the Lincoln assassination story needs to be embellished or changed to make it intriguing or horrifying or incredible or dramatic or ________ (fill in your own adjective.) It is all that and more in its true form.

I've watched a couple other episodes of this series and caught several other historical errors. In truth, I wasn't expecting accuracy or depth, so I don't know why it ticked me off so much. I guess the topic is just too near to my heart. All we can hope is that the story piqued the interest of some people and inspired them to further explore the facts. Maybe we'll get another Mike Kaufman or Dave Taylor out of it!
