all this time i've been listening and playing this

I visited your UA-cam channel and your video quality is very good.

You guys are constantly having such meaningful conversations. Thank you.

I love and appreciate you both so much!

You have expressed your thoughts very well

Interviewer inserts himself too much.

This guy is a damned lier. STFUP

American slavery was chattel slavery.

American Brutus is even better than Manhunt both are great books

well done!

Without Lincoln elected in 1860, Alaska would still be Russian territory.

Lincoln's superstition and dreams: His repeated dreams about standing on the deck of a large ship coursing over the sea, as an omen of significant events, makes me think of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The nuclear powered behemoth attests to the achievements of Lincoln, the great events of his presidency that led to the ship being named for him. A vision of the Lincoln, commissioned a century after his death, could have been a divine assurance to him of being on the right course.

Randy-boy, you'd look much nicer if you had a bulllet in your head!

We may accept that it was Booth in the barn, but can we accept that his theatrical dialogue with the soldiers is accurately reported?

Your book should be a textbook of the event. BUT Apple TVs manhunt is such a distortion of the facts as to be more fiction than truth. Its a shame what they did to your work

Very good

I truly enjoy listening and watching Dr. Guelzo's take on anything and everything on the American Civil War. He puts everything into perspective.

This is the best ever video I could watch and listen to Mr. James Swanson I could picture in my mind the scene 🎬 he was describing he is so so informative it’s amazing all his knowledge the wealth of information he sets every scene 🎬 with his words he’s awesome he’s a wonderful GREAT 👍🏽 story teller I’ve watched this video several times and I saved it on my phone it was so awesome how James takes you back to the 1800’s and listening to him is like being back there to this historical time . Remarkable the best video for anybody to watch if they want to learn about this history of President Abraham Lincoln and the this historical time I don’t want to even write his name the Murders name . T

Great show and had to be watched over and over again. Thanks for this presentation.

This was great! More please.

Never read much about Lincoln’s relations with Stuart and Browning. Another point: Always award that Lincoln was through and though a Kentuckian. The Radicals could not really accept that he had a deep knowledge of the border South. Of course, that made him not appreciate how different the people of the Deep South were.

Love you guys and yay ❤❤❤❤

Is Tom Hanks a relative?

Another book on Lincoln, that's cool 😎😎

Great video! James Swanson knows his facts.

Whoever is watching this and has not read Manhunt. I highly recommend it. Probably the best book that I have ever read.

Very informative interview. Thank you !

Abraham Lincoln was the last best hope of white people. If Booth had been what store-tellers claim he was, he would have attacked some reconstructionist, not Lincoln. None of these experts ever examine the role of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton Representative George Julian Representative Thaddeus Stevens Senator Charles Sumner Senator Henry Wilson Senator Zachariah Chandler Senator Benjamin Wade in the event. In the House Committee, "investigating" the mystery, Representative Andrew J. Rogers called out Stanton and accused him to his face of conspiring against Lincoln.

My thoughts be bloody by Nora Titone is an excellent read deal with John Wilks Booth and the family into which he was born.

Excellent command of the facts. Thanks.

I always enjoy the interviews here, and this is one of the best.

One thought... in today's world, there are people who are liberal arts and people who are math and science. Very few are all of these. Lee's mind was obviously math and science. I don't believe someone who went to West Point who graduated second in his class was not as smart as Abraham Lincoln. I don't believe the gentleman means to be a liberal arts academic snob but I don't think the gentleman sees his snobbery.

As a Deep South (7 generations at least) person, this war was about slavery and keeping the Union together. I do not agree that Lee committed "treason." One only commits treason when you didn't win in a conflict like this. Lee's father was "treasonous" to the Brits but a warrior patriot to us. And our Constitution allows for a weird level of treason.

Always wondered why John Wilkes Booth never owned a slave when he could have a easily afford one, even a personal valet. He was, without question, proslavery, yet didn’t want to own another human being. He was rich. He could easily have had one. Yet he didn’t…weird, no?

The military court was rough and unfair. That does not take away from the guilt of those who were prosecuted. I disagree with you about Mary Surratt. There’s no evidence that Dr. Mudd knew of the plot to assassinate Lincoln until after it happened. So he’s guilty of accessory after the fact. There is so much evidence of Mary Surratt, helping Booth prepare that very day, knowing beforehand as the others who hung beside her. That’s called premeditated conspiracy to murder. Mary Surratt deserved the death penalty. Dr. Mudd deserved a life sentence. Michael, O’Laughlin did not deserve a life sentence. And the guy who held the horse’s reins did not deserve anything at all. And those not given an official death sentence were sent to a pestilential prison where almost everyone died. Passive aggressive diabolicalness in their public relations. And I believe that Weichmann should have received the same minus a year as Michael OLaughlin.

Experience leading men in combat under fire is of little importance in predicting which officer will succeed or fail at the highest level. What is important is the officer’s knowledge of logistics and the officer’s personality.

I was interested that Mr.Burlingame said that Tad was “learning disabled”. I did a quick search about Tad and all I could find was that he had been born with a variation of cleft lip and palate. I could see that that may have made Tad’s speech difficult to understand but I don’t necessarily see that as a learning disability.

Show me a photo of Booth 's body. It was standard procedure in those days when law enforcememt killed bad guys to take pictures and show to the public. Show me a photo. Otherwise you believe things history tells you minus common sense. No photo then Booth lived on never having been caught. There is no photo. The government lied. Typical even back then. The only way to know the truth about anything in history is... you had to be there yourself. No book or historian can teach you that.

wish we had the rest of it this was truly food for thought

A nice newspaper search. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/search/pages/results/?state=&date1=1789&date2=1963&proxtext=Abraham+Lincoln&x=0&y=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&rows=20&searchType=basic

This was one of your very best interviews!

Why Stanton was not a target of the conspirators? After all he was Secretary of War,

Wonderful! Thank you!

What the name of the guests book

Great interview! Now I have a few more books to read!!

abe was responsible for the deaths of almost a million people to stop sesession... a criminal.... worts pres ever...... booth was 2 years too late

Bugliosi wrote the definitive account of the Kennedy Assassination. McClellan called him the "original gorilla." Booth did not injure his leg at Ford's. Not one eyewitness at the theater that night mentioned it. He broke it when his horse fell on him riding up Soper's Hill, as he told Dr. Mudd.

My favorite story about Lincoln was that once Lincoln was speaking at a national convention. Someone in the crowd accused him of being “two-faced.” Lincoln replied: “Nonsense! If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”
