@HistoryHit @MalcolmNance @Telegraph What a pestilence nationalism is, hatred, made him throw it all away that day in April.

@HistoryHit @Telegraph Why is "Booth," trending & not #Lincoln ?? Just glamorizing an assassin a century & a half later will only help make some crazy person even more motivated.
