"I think JWB and company would have found greater respect in both North and South if they had done the conventional thing and joined the Confederate Army and killed Yankees in a straight forward way on the battlefield."

There are other ways to serve one's country in time of war than to don a uniform. Does anyone want to pick on the French Resistance during WWII?

My personal observation of what drove Booth and gang was not fighting the entire Union army. Their hatred was directed at Lincoln with Seward as a by-product because of his position of calling for a special election. Johnson, of course, was a necessity also in order to decapitate the constitutional heads of the government. I have never been convinced that Stanton or Grant were targets either.
