Conspirators' "Supplies" - Did They are Didn't They?!

[Laurie Verge]

There was a stigma attached to Andrew Johnson from March 4, 1865, on because many thought that his behavior and speech at the Inauguration was a result of his being drunk. Some historians believe the man was actually ill that day. He was certainly a political pigeon on the ballot the past November - a man from Tennessee who remained loyal to the Union.

He was also an acquaintance of John Wilkes Booth as was his assistant. There is one recent theory that Johnson gave Booth the passes that were needed to cross the Navy Yard Bridge the night of the assassination (IMO doubtful, but worth consideration) without knowing the true purpose for those passes.

I am in agreement with Betty that we don't need to look at Lincoln's administration to try to find a culprit. I tell people to face South and investigate the Confederate administration. There are some others that have suggested that we look in New York City and other areas ripe with financiers and speculators. Miles to go, folks, before we sleep -- miles to go.
