There was an article in Civil War Times about two years ago that dealt with the conspiracy theory, and the evidence was very strong that the "hit" was ordered, because Stanton had ordered a hit on Jefferson Davis and his cabinet. The article looked pretty convincing. John Wilkes Booth was an assassin who shot a man in the back of the head. The Mossad has done the same thing, but from a further distance. Brandy has nothing to do with it. The bottom line here, is you just don't like the man. That is your right. However, I don't believe he was a coward, and you will have to provide hard evidence to prove it. Every description of Booth's death describes him going down fighting.
Sure. And with about 5 mintues time and a good search engine you can find websites that state the evidence is very strong that the conspiracy was headed by Stanton or Andrew Johnson or the international bankers or the Catholic Church or just about any leader other than that drunken SOB John Booth.
