Summary

The boys couldn’t get together this week to record The WellRED podcast because of travel schedules, but rather than have no episode or throw up an old episode, I decided to talk about one of my favorite periods in history: The Civil War. More specifically, the plot to kill Lincoln right after the war ended

Enjoy this hour plus stream of consciousness rant with no breaks and no notes detailing the assassination, plot to overthrow the government, the man hunt, and finally the military tribunal of the conspirators.. (Time Stamps Below!)

Also feel free to fact check me and tell me what I got wrong!
