Pat Young: Hi
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:47 PM -
Tennessee_Mountainman: Hey JB thank you for the teacher resources thread, when I take AP History next year I'll be sure to show my teacher those
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
MaryDee: Hi, Pat! I thought you were at a seder tonight!
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
JerseyBart: Hi Pat. Sedan over?
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
Jamieva: and there;s pat!
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
Tennessee_Mountainman: Hey Pat! How's it going
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
Jamieva: yes mary but 2 years after they were hanged right?
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
Pat Young: Sedar over
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
MaryDee: Yes, far too late!
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:48 PM -
JerseyBart: My pleasure Tennessee. I'm flattered you'd offer it up to your teacher.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:49 PM -
Drew: Payne (correctly spelled) swore that Mary Surratt was not guilty of charges against her
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:49 PM -
Jamieva: am i the only one that saw the movie the conspirator? its an interesting take on this
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:49 PM -
MaryDee: Pat, can you explain about circumstantial evidence? Which is what convicted most of the conspirators.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:49 PM -
Jamieva: not trying to sidetrack the conversation
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:50 PM -
Tennessee_Mountainman: Haha well I'll just see about maybe even getting him/her to join this forum JB.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:50 PM -
Pat Young: Many convictions are based on what is called circumstantial evidence.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:50 PM -
MaryDee: The book I mentioned earlier today, by Kate Clifford Larson, was the basis for the movie.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
JerseyBart: Conspiracy punishment is rather stiff and strict. Conspire and you're guilty of all of it unless you tell authorities before the plan is acted upon.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Pat Young: We often don't have direct evidence
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
MaryDee: I have not seen the movie.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Jamieva: marydee did you see the movie? i saw it on netflix about a year ago.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Pat Young: I don't know what the conspiracy laws were in the 1860s.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
JerseyBart: That would be great Tennessee.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Drew: The Kangaroo Court issued it's verdict.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Jamieva: exactly jb and he pointed that out in the video
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:51 PM -
Pat Young: Ed Steers implies that they were similar to what they are today
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:52 PM -
JerseyBart: And all the Joey's were punished in some form.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:52 PM -
Tennessee_Mountainman: To be honest George Atzerodt might've been doing a favor for the country. Johnson in my opinion went too easy on the South.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:52 PM -
Drew: Kyd Douglass was witness to the trial and noted, correctly I believe, that not a single member of the Tribunal recorded his participation in his own memoir.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:53 PM -
Pat Young: I always though Lewis Powell looked like Mickey Dolans of the Monkees
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:53 PM -
Drew: That the 'judges' were too ashamed to own it is very telling.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:54 PM -
Pat Young: Kyd Douglas? How could he have witnessed the trial?
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:55 PM -
Jamieva: those judges signed off on her death sentence then like less than a week before the hanging wanted clemency
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:56 PM -
MaryDee: And it's a toss-up whether Stanton or Johnson suppressed that, as I understand.
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:56 PM -
Pat Young: He was a witness at the trial
Apr 10, 2017 at 9:57 PM -
Drew: He was there, Pat. Paroled and in Washington, IIRC. If memory serves, he even described the opening in which Stanton appeared and spoke. He had not read the remarks prepared for him by staff, which contained kind words for General Lee. Stanton exploded at his own speech and delayed the opening of the trial by several days.
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:00 PM -
JerseyBart: The Dr. Mudd story was a pretty interesting one...always has been.
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:00 PM -
Jamieva: yup
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:00 PM -
Jamieva: and he didnt talk an about the garrett farm but that is land that became fort ap hill in va
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:03 PM -
Pat Young: Canadian-born Irish immigrant Lieutenant Edward Dougherty led the men who found Booth on the farm
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM -
JerseyBart: Jamie...probably because booth received justice and this was more about the conspiracy, trial and conviction
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM -
Jamieva: true
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM -
Jamieva: i thought he might have mentioned where it was in va due to him doing a talk at the moc
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM -
JerseyBart: I do remember watching a late night black and with tv show about capturing booth and burning the barn.
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM -
Jamieva: its one of those little trivia things i love
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:06 PM -
JerseyBart: I was a teenage nightowl. Now I'm a 39 year old nightowl.
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:06 PM -
Jamieva: so this was not mentioned by the presenter...so booth planned to shoot lincoln and grant did booth know before he entered the room that grant was not there
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:06 PM -
MaryDee: What we learn from the trivia game--the guy who shot Booth was named Boston Corbett--a real weirdo!
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:07 PM -
JerseyBart: Weirdo Justice
Apr 10, 2017 at 10:07 PM -
MaryDee: Grant's cancellation was, as I recall, late in the afternoon.
