Ep. 33. The Democrat Assassin, John Wilkes Booth

Booth gained infamy for assassinated the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. Though accurate, this brief summation omits his radicalization through Democrat propaganda, his self-hatred, and desire to elevate himself to the kind of mythologization that followed Old John Brown. Where Brown was the agent of the North and liberty, Boothe personified the Southern slave-holding Confederate Democrats.
