No sympathy for George

[SSlater]

I see all of this in a different light. I doubt that Bravery 0r Cowardliness had any part in it. Do you think that any of them believed that their plan was MURDER? I'll bet that Booth had them convinced that their plan was no worse than shooting the enemy, in Battle. Do it - and the South will pin a medal on you. I believe that Lee's surrender, changed their thinking - the South has lost, let's go home. Then the innocent , bailed out. The die-hards, wanted revenge - so, they killed him anyhow. Sort of, They won the war, but this guy won't enjoy it.
