      @@greenmountainbrownie6473 There is only circumstantial evidence that the British had any part in the plan. Most sources that I found say that the original plan was to kidnap the president, but after hearing that Lincoln was planning to give freed slaves the right to vote, John Wilkes Booth acted rashly and mudered him on a spur-of-the-moment descision. The source saying the British were involved reads like a tabloid article and links a website that no longer exists. Also, neither Booth or his fellow *American* plotters revealed any British involvement.

    There is no noble cause, than the struggle of liberating people.
    Long live the memory of the fallen, remember the lines of battle, the strength and the courage of the union soldiers! May the souls of the fallen find peace upon this earth, long live the friendship of the people!
    Long live the memory of Abraham Lincoln, the one who led the country through the hardest of time.

      @@williamsherman1942 during this period in time however this is not true. The Southerners are our brethren of course, though they planned to recede from us, though it failed thus being with us today. I got family from the South mainly Texas and Louisiana and they're great people over there, very Christian and religious but very hospitable as well. You ask for one thing and they tell you that and 10 different ways to go about it. Never been to Louisiana yet however I'd love to visit New Orleans and Baton Rouge where my aunt is from.
