Now, if you'd had
gotten my eye,
that would have been bad.
But you didn't.
And it was, well,
it was splendid!
James McCollom:
Thank you, sir.
Tom Hanks:
That isJohn Wilkes Booth.
Born and raised
in Maryland,
a border state,
not secede from the Union.
also a Southern zealot,
whose hatred of
Abraham Lincoln is
nothing less
than fanatical.
In October of 1864,
Booth makes contact
with the Confederate
Secret Service.
And shortly after
Lincoln's reelection,
he determines to
kidnap the President.
He stops in Philadelphia
to visit his sister, Asia.
And there he
writes a letter.
John Wilkes Booth:
To whom it may concern.
Right or wrong,
God judge me, not man.

the South alone.
Nor do I deem it a
dishonor in attempting

voted for him?
Asia Booth Clarke: Yes.
John Wilkes Booth:
For a false President?
A tool of the North
slavery by robbery,
rapine and slaughter?

doing duty upon

responsibility,
J. Wilkes Booth.

Abraham Lincoln:

Tom Hanks:

But the image made on
this day will be the
last official portrait
ever taken of the
the United States.
Abraham Lincoln
has six weeks to live.
Abraham Lincoln:

with firmness in the
right as God gives
us to see the right,
let us strive on to
finish the work we are in;
to bind up the
nation's wounds;
to do all which may
