Booth's Mental health

[Pamela]

I said Booth and Brown weren't interested in man's law. So Booth's higher law meant enslavement? Wouldn't that be a lower law? And wasn't Brown a kind of anarchist, a law unto himself who decided who he felt like butchering? He was against slavery and apparently against the laws of the Union in order to achieve his goals. Seward's higher law was a goal he worked toward within man's laws, not by disregarding them.
