The story of John Wilkes Booth attending Lincoln's Last Speech and muttering to one of his co-conspirators ""That means n-gg-r citizenship. Now, by God, I'll put him through. That is the last speech he will ever make" is well known. The version I put here is from Battle Cry of Freedom.
I was on Student of the Civil War and saw a video @cash posted of Harold Holzer talking about the assassination. Beginning at the ninth minute, Holzer says that their is not reliable source for it and that historians have been retelling it without listing a primary source.
Take a look and let me know what you think:
