My Journey on Lincoln's Assassination

[Gene C]

Mike has chosen the shadowy path of conspiracy at every turn. I'm afraid that produces little fact, in my opinion. There are archives and diaries and trial transcripts that paint a much clearer picture to my mind.

Huh??? The "shadowy path of conspiracy"?! Umm, are you aware that the government's official version is a massive conspiracy theory, a conspiracy theory that says that Confederate government officials, including Jefferson Davis, plotted to kill Lincoln, and that Booth acted on their orders and with their financial backing? The official conspiracy theory includes the highest Confederate officials and a vast network of accomplices and couriers that spanned from Richmond to Washington to Baltimore to New York, and even to Montreal. Are you aware of this fact?

So you can believe that Confederate leaders would engage in a massive conspiracy to kill a president and certain cabinet members, but you can't believe that some Federal officials would do so? Heard of the Dahlgren Raid?

I think someone is in denial, which reminds me of a song.
