The filmmaking and acting in those parts is super impressive for this kind of show, especially when they get the real people in re-enactments and they actually pretty decent actors. One wonders how much time/money went into these moments and what the directors had to do to get decent performances out of people who one would assume have never acted before.

Booth didn't die in that barn. Even the Encyclopedia Britannica refuses to accept that. Too many things say it wasn't him. That one old man refusing to discuss it is one of those real "History is a myth men agree to believe" types who doesn't want to explore the gray of some parts of history for what they are. Booth didn't act alone either, and they know it. ".. in a written statement 36 hours after his arrest..." Yeah.. just long enough to be browbeat into saying stuff that wasn't true.. but James O. Hall, old codger he was, refused to even think on that...

I’m not gonna say how I know and I also know I’m just a random person on the Internet, but I’m not lying. The government totally botched getting Lincoln’s killer. They killed the wrong man and then did their best to cover it up. To this day they keep the truth unknown. It’s a 150 year old government coverup still active to this day. The government won’t allow the booth family to exhume the body. I assure u the story is true. U will just have to trust me.

The fact alone they didn't took pictures of the body is solid proof that they didn’t kill Booth, if they would have shot him these pics would have been all over the newspapers and plastered on the walls. They needed a body at all cost to calm the population and restore peace, so they killed the first jabroni they saw in that barn and used his body as a double for Booth's. Always fun to talk about it with knowledgeable people! 😊👍

One of the Rathbun, Rathburn, Rathbone interconnected clan was picked up near Canadian border on the count that he was suspected of being Booth. William Palmer Rathbone and his newly married wife were said to be on a honeymoon excursion to Niagra Falls. Another member was Henry Reed Rathburn was inside the Presidential booth as guests of Lincoln, with his date, and step sister through marriage, Clara Harris, daughter of NY senator Ira Harris. Today, a Lois Rathbun is brother Edwin's closest living descendant, his great -great granddaughter who married into the Rathbun family. One off the hotels in Elmira, NY which had a connection tot he Lincoln killing, Mary Surratt's son , John stayed there at the Brainard House at the request of Confed gen. it was later named the Rathbun hotel. The families of Rathburn, Rathbun, and Rathbone are all interconnected., and in more modern times, a member was actor Basil Rathbone, who famously played Sherlock Holmes. Apparently Lincoln himself grew up with some of the clan in Illinois, perhaps this is why he asked Henry Reed Rathburn and his stepsister the play. The Rathburn-Rathbun-Rathbone connection. Most of this info came from the families shared newsletter which I managed to track down a couple key issues, some of it has been used by the old Suratt society newsletter, and also from a Historian Jon Willen in a C-span special which can be viewed here. www.c-span.org/video/?460076-1/lincoln-assassination-attending-doctors -

if you were adopted like he was there's nothing "mysterious" really about something like people you don't know mistaken you from some for someone else, I mean anything could be possible if you don't know about your biological past. Coincidentally his birthday is the same day as mine, March the 29th- 13 years before I was born, and also coincidentally I didn't know who my father was till I was 13 years old. I grew up with a made-up last name on my birth certificate, people didn't have children out of wedlock as openly as they do now then, it was condemned and stigmatized.

Basically Lincoln's freeing the slaves would be like a modern president confiscating all of the tractors, combines and cotton harvesters in the US from the farmers who had bought and paid for them with no compensation and telling them to figure out how to farm without them. At the time agriculture was not mechanized so farms used slave labor rather than machines. In most cases the slaves were the plantation owner's second most valuable asset, second only to the land and without them the land was worthless because he couldn't plow all those fields and pick all that cotton without them.
@americancrimejournal

More revisionist nonsense. Lincoln did not "want the cotton". And Lincoln "did not invade the south". Traitors and cowards illegally and against majority of the public's support broke from the union before Lincoln was even president of the United States. They did so under false pretenses then, as they do now. The cotton industry could have been revamped and pressed twice as much cotton out West, as there was the land and ability with half the crew. As you can see though, cotton wasn't a 'priority" When you get your education from South Carolina and Mississippi or other southern states, of course you're misinformed and ignorant. That's because to this very day, school text books are "approved" by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), who has spent their entire history with daddy issues and trying to restore the south's image and their father's honor. Racist to the core as they were, reconstruction era proved EXACTLY what and who these people were and are. No wonder South Carolina and Mississippi fight each year for the bottom in education in the nation, and Southern states round out the bottom ten. Actually looking at it, they round out the bottom ten when it comes to everything- healthcare, education, poverty, drug abuse and deaths and violence in the rural South exceeded metropolitan areas. South Carolina leads the country in murders per Capita. Yes, you are at greater risk getting murdered in South Carolina than Chicago. The South left the Union because they wanted to keep slaves. It had nothing to do with economics or "state rights". Goldwater is who popularized the "state rights" angle to win over the racist southern states who felt their freedom was endangered because they might have to drink out a water fountain a black person did or their ass might touch a toilet seat a black person's did. Yes that was supposed be such a "tough" and "great" generation. Back to reality. All you have to do is read the Constitution of the Confederacy. It is clear and compelling. Letters between southern philosophers- those who pushed for succession for years, generals and even Jefferson Davis' cabinet before, after and during the war. They are not trying to make some moral state rights statement. They were not concerned about the general welfare or population of the South. They were concerned and one of their biggest fears was the inability to "own black people". In the reconstruction era, they began to panic and we're afraid black people would retaliate and treat them as they were treated. Revisionist history especially about something as nonsensical as the "south" has no place in America. It was a quick four years when some good men corrected something that was far worse than murder and war crimes-- slavery. State rights were not in the vocabulary of the traitors. What the southern pride racists fail to understand is that yes, the sole purpose and motivation of treason by the south, was that they felt black people needed to by owned and needed to work for them, the south aristocrat apparatus. Which they enlisted uneducated, poor people trying to survive day to day just so they can enjoy their plantation. Even PragerU republican voters only consistent education establishment, that can be debunked faster than the bizarre unfounded claims they make, gets one or two right here and there.. Prager and Rand Paul (before Trump took over the party with his uneducated racist Stephen Miller brand of white nationalism) as attempted to show that the GOP "stopped being racist recently", so they fought long and hard, campaigned several episodes on PragerU to put an end to the "myths" of the Civil War. No lost cause, or Northern Aggression. Just like with radical Trumpists, when Lincoln won the election, Southerners biggest fear is that blacks would be freed and they'd be arrested and executed by black freemen. Even though paid labor is cheaper than slavery, they knew they couldn't easily rape, beat and molest a laborer as easy as a slave. Before Lincoln was sworn into office, like Trumpists... the South began to leave the union. It is well established that all Lincoln would not have just freed the slaves, the south had no reason to believe that. They knew his administration would end the sale and black child birth after the date would be free. But the south was even afraid of the ban and sales and abuses. It just shows how ignorant they were then, but now there is just no excuse. Time to stop romanticizing the Antebellum south. It did not exist in that manner. It was much more cruel and disgusting than it already was. We just have to look at journals or slave owners.

The Booth segment looks like a small fortune was spent on it, like a medium budget motion picture. The Twins segment was great. Loved it when the daughter shouted across the raging creek and her cry of "Dad" just echoes across; so evocative. The last segment was heartbreaking -- the guy made a dumb mistake and made a huge leap simply from pure guilt. Notice how all the experts, including the police, couldn't imagine any of it to come up with a credible theory. The best writers of fiction couldn't make this stuff up. Human dilemmas drive the true mysteries of the human heart and motivations. Superb.

I wish we could see what really happened with all of these conspiracy cases and theories for all of these events that happened over the years. Starting with this, then Billy the Kid...did he get away or was he killed, the JFK assassination, Kurt Cobains suicide/possible murder, 9/11, the Jeff Epstein murder, did Hitler get away to Argentina at the end of WW2 or was he killed in the bunker, etc. I'm sure many were straightforward but a few had to be different than what history tells us and I tend to believe things that happened centuries ago were more likely to be conspiracies since police work was sloppier back then and less media and technology. Stuff was just way harder to prove.

The Cooper guy in this episode might be the infamous "Dan Cooper" (also known as D.B. Cooper) who hijacked the plane in 1971 and parachuted out with $200,000! The guy looks just like the FBI composite sketch from 1972 accounting for age (38:45). It's uncanny. The mystery man here used two other "Cooper" aliases too, one of the names also starting with a "D". Episode says he started a business in 1974, which might have been around the time he could have started laundering the money from the hijack. He's a fisherman and knows the outdoors, so he could have survived parachuting into deep woods. He became a traveling salesman, which is a good cover for someone on the run. If you're secretly D.B. Cooper and a stranger figures you out, your only choice is to vanish and not even tell your family because the FBI could use them to find you, or accuse them of aiding and abetting. If they're the ones filing the missing persons report, they're probably not complicit.

I don't know what it is but I have a nagging suspicion "Alex Cooper" was not telling the whole story. My first thought was perhaps he was a German who escaped to North America after the war...if you catch my drift. Whatever the case, The reason he gave for abandoning his family seems pretty weak to me.

The Smithsonian requested that Booth's body be exhumed for an autopsy with the cooperation from his family. A state court, however, refused to give them full permission and the case goes unsolved to this day. One rumor to come out in later years is that George/St. Helen was actually Boston Corbett, the soldier who had claimed God told him to kill Booth. This theory claims that his behavior became quite erratic through his life; he once even opening fire in the Kansas State Legislature, later eventually committed to a sanitarium which he escaped, supposedly for Texas where he worked as a traveling salesman before he met Finis Bates as John St. Helen. In 2007, however, Edward Steers wrote in his book, "Lincoln Legends," that the so-called "proof" of Booth's survival had no provenance. The entire legend was based on the files of Andrew Potter, a man who was supposedly in the National Detective Police under Lincoln. However, the National Archives has no record of Potter's existence or his membership in the NDP. The Potter Files are also filled with numerous discrepancies and historical inaccuracies which call doubts on the myth of Booth's escape. Regardless of these facts, several members of the Booth family still believe Booth escaped, and believe DNA comparisons of his remains would lay these myths to rest. In 2012, a judge ruled against Booth's remains being disinterred for such experiments based on there was not enough evidence to warrant the tests.

Things happened for a reason, there where moments Jim was so close running into his twin brother but didn't. I read in Reddit that apparently Billy didn't want nothing to do with Jim if that true meeting may give him closure but it would leave him a sour taste in his mouth. Some things in this world are better off unanswered. I guess what Reddit said was true, Jim quickly reunited with his sister but not his brother who would be easy to locate esp since they are twins, he has shown to be hanging around the same area, as well people have confused Jim as Billy. Plus people who have confused Jim as Billy has reported that Billy straight up ignored them like he wants to avoid conflict as for Jim he responded very confused or goes with the flow. I mean I would have been happy if I found out if I have a twin but other ppl don't, we don't know the lifestyle Billy grow up to not want nothing to do with his twin brother.

I wonder if the twin could have been deaf. That could explain why he never responded and just looked puzzled or walked away. Yeah, the basketball kids expected "Billy" to hear them and answer, but he may have gone deaf later on, either through accident or illness. Measles and some of the other childhood diseases of that era were known to cause blindness and deafness. Most mothers would isolate their measly kids in a dark, quiet room, as noises and bright lights were thought to cause the measles to "settle" in the ears and eyes.
