I watched first two episodes of Manhunt on AppleTv.

The first season is a dramatization about John Wilkes Booth. Frankly, it left me nervous, even a bit terrified. Booth and his Confederate-loving partners tried to assassinate the senior Cabinet as well as Lincoln and Johnson.

I hope no one feels inspired by this terrorism. Maybe the later episode where they are hanged will give them something to ruminate upon.

1. Have not watched yet, want to see Patton in this, but I hear you.

These traitors will do anything.

2. I don't remember the details of the manhunt,

how many were involved, and everyone they attempted to assassinate. I'm enjoying the drama, and that it isn't a docudrama.

Reconstruction was a failure from the standpoint that the South's hearts and minds were not changed. We don't need a repeat.

3. Seems very stilted and dodgy to me. n/t

4. I know what you're talking about, but

the overall idea of the multiple assassinations, using intelligence sources and spies, and attempts to restart the war has me freaked out a bit.
