Lincoln didn’t have a secretary called Kennedy. His secretaries were named John G. Nicolay and John M. Hay
Booth was born in 1838, not 1839
Booth was a confederate sympathizer but was not a southerner. He was born in Maryland.
This stuff is really easy to fact check…
While true, Booth would be comsidered a southerner, being born below the Mason-Dixon line.
Yeah that one could be argued either way really
He was south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but back then that line divide free states and slave owning states. Only in more recent times has it become known as a divide between north and south.
Maryland was a slave owning state but it never seceded or joined the Confederacy. It was very much so caught in the middle of the Union and Confederacy
