Just wondering how people would view Booth in history if his actions would of taken place much earlier in the war. Say in 62, early 63 when things were looking somewhat good for the South. Or let's say late 63 after Gettysburg and Vicksburg as a rallying point after these defeats.
Would he be looked at as a hero for eliminating the enemy's leader or would he be scorned as he is today by most people?
