Mary Surratt: Guilty or Not Guilty (Lecture)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2017
- In 1865, Mary Surratt became the first woman executed by the Federal Government. Join Ranger Karlton Smith and examine Mary Surratt's guilt or innocence in connection with the Lincoln Assassination conspiracy. Was she completely innocent or did she, as stated by President Andrew Johnson "keep the nest that hatched the egg?"
As you can tell by my name I'm related to this woman. This presentation is very well done. For another little quirk I'm also related to John Wilkes Booth (offspring of one of his siblings) from my mother's side of the family. I've done a lot of reading on this subject through the years. I do believe she was guilty of having knowledge about the assassination but I feel she should've gotten life in prison instead of the death penalty.
@Mari Surratt they were confederate sympathizers. She needed to be hung she had part In the assassination
Mari; I've read that a lot of people think Booth escaped and lived into the 20th century. Couldn't help wonder if you have ever heard anythink like this?
@@taunton613 To the best of my knowledge Booth did not escape. I've read all the theories also but I'm definitely skeptical. Booth was such a narcissistic that had he survived he would've wanted people to know who he was and not waited for a deathbed confession.
I am a distant cousin of Dr Mudd's and have doubt's that Dr Mudd was directly involved in the plot to kill Lincoln but was involved in the kidnapping plot. I think Mary & Dr Mudd were railroaded.
Congratulations on your relatives being Murderers, Traitors and Racists! Clearly you have inherited your ancestors' EVILS and EVIL Opinions!
Of course you don't believe she should have been Hanged - Women NEVER believe they or ANY Woman should be held accountable for their actions.
If those Traitors had MURDERED an English Prime Minister or Monarch, they would have been Hung, Drawn and Quartered - a FAR less "Clean" Death.
She was LUCKY!!!!
Not guilty. To all you say that she was involved. Does that give you a right to take away her right to a civilian trial? She shouldn’t have been judged by a military trial. That was unconstitutional. If found guilty of civil trial I might’ve agreed but that was not considered constitutional
All this speculation can be solved by simply checking Mary's cell phone records to see if there are any texts from Booth.
Trouble is she used a burner phone that yields no information. She purchased the phone in the Confederate Supply Co. store in Washington DC. She purchased the phone from a clerk working in the store named Lucy Hale who just happened to know Booth personally. Mary remarked to Lucy Hale , "So you know Booth too" Lucy replied, " I sure do. He is a bum actor who does not want to work any more and he asked me to marry him because he expects me to support him." " Plus that lousy bum Booth was in here yesterday trying to sell a book he just wrote entitled ' I killed Lincoln" People in the store said your book is crap. The President is alive and well. Booth replied, " Not for long!
Me too I agree with you and your comments too
HELLO! What about Mrs. Surratt's deleted tweets and the Facebook and Instagram accounts she suddenly deactivated on the morning of April 15th? There is a lot more to this story that they aren't telling us about.
Dude . . . You are ON THE BALL. 👌
triangulation.
500 dollars a month in rent in the 1800s? That's hard to believe. That would be like 5,000 dollars a month today.
That was for renting a tavern. Maybe furnished and stocked. Who knows - he didn’t give details. Also government spending increases during war time causing rapid inflation.
Guilty maybe of association with bad people but she directly didn't kill Lincoln second she shouldn't have been tried in a military trial.
that is false logic. You can be guilty of murder if you say for example
kill this person with that gun, and you do.
@@mikesecor6074 True...but no evidence I believe that applied in this case.
I agree I don’t think she had the same guilt as the others. Should have not been tried in a military trial. Maybe jail time.
Great presentation! Thanks for all the research!
If you were to ask me, sure she never killed or harmed anyone herself but she seemed to be very well aware of the plot the men had conspired and did not report any authorities (I would say the same about Atzerodt).
northern abolitionists lived off Slavery as much as southern planters. northern bankers made loans, northern insurance companies underwrote activities, northern textile mills bought slave cotton, northerners ate slave sugar and smoked slave Tabacco and before 1808, slave ships built and crewed by northerners transported slaves into the United States. Maybe the war happened because the guilty feeling of northern abolitionists and indignation of southern slavers at the hypocrisy of the abolitionists. And, what's crazy is that most people today are decedents of post-bellum immigrants who had nothing to do with slavery and just want to get on with life.
America was built on the backs and unpaid labor of African American slaves. The European immigrants benefited by moving to the USA which had benefited from the unpaid labor of African Americans.
It's interesting to note that Gen Lew Wallace, one of the military judges, wrote the book Ben-Hur.
He also promised one William H Bonny a pardon for his part in the Lincoln county New Mexico war.
He was also a Union general and governor of the territory of NM at the time of the events cited.
Love learning about more about the Lincoln assassination. I like the fact you showed where these historic places are today .... Many Thanks
Mr. Smith is a very knowledgeable speaker on this subject. The hour seemed more like 15 minutes or so. Mrs. Surratt was guilty of one or more charges that were brought against her. From what I can gather, Booth did not try to hide what he wanted to do, especially around people he thought would have the same leanings. It seems to me that he tried to involve as many people as possible which might have been a safety in numbers approach. Sadly for him, most of the individuals he involved were neither very bright, or very committed. This entire kidnapping-turned-murder plot would have gone over much better (been tolerated better by most people as an act of war) if the war had still been going on and not after it was over.
He even bragged about an earlier poisoning plot (unsuccessful unbeknownst to him and David Harold), in an ENGRAVING ON A HOTEL WINDOW (McHenry House, Meadville, PA).
He must have felt very safe in that particular area, perhaps due to heavy KGC presence.
The narrator might have a slight congenital speech impairment or he may have had a stroke. He doesn't deserve ridicule for his presentation.
Or he may just be a sloppy speaker!
@@Clemmy54no, he has a speech impediment. You're being obtuse and an asshole.
The measured drop was not invented until 1872 meaning the weight and build of the condemned were not directly accounted for which usually led to strangulation.
I'm always suspicious when you avoid a civilian criminal court and engage a military tribunal for a civilian crime; where the President actually is ultimately in control. I think Mary was definately involved in the Confederate spy network in her original tavern and in Washington. How much she knew about the plots against Lincoln I'm not sure about. They don't mention John Lloyd here; who was the individual who furnished the testimony that convicted her though. He was a policeman who quit his job when the war started and rented Mary's original tavern which allowed her to move to Washington. That was an established Confederate safe house. He gave the testimony that she made two trips there, under the premise she was collecting a debt, and talked to him about guns he was supposed to be holding, and deliver a pair of binoculars. These were supposedly to be used for escape. But that was the only testimony against her. Azterodt swore she was innocent and knew nothing. She could have carried messages and not known what they were about, and she could have been collecting money from Lloyd. Lloyd was arrested and heavily questioned for days. In sort of a 19th century witness protection program, the law prevented them from prosecuting him if he testified against the other conspirators. So he was never charged. There was a witness to these supposed conversations who was never called as a witness. It seems they were looking for people to hang. There were also two childhood friends of Booth who were sentenced to life in prison. They even convicted the stagehand who let Booth into the theater that night. Dr. Mudd, despite his descendent's attempt to clear his name was definately in the Confederate network and knew Booth. He was pardoned after about four years. Booth was very well known and knew many many people, including other prominent personalities and his own family. If he could fool all of them, he certainly could have fooled Mary. I think of her as a mother, who probably turned a blind eye to a lot of things. The kidnapping plot seems to have been originated at some point of authority, and she may have known about that. The assassination was quite impromptu, as the opportunity unexpectedly presented itself. Azterodt said he knew about it for about two hours. I don't think there was a case to hang her. But there are lots of things about this that are questionable in terms of getting to the total truth, starting with the fact that Booth was shot to death and not taken alive. Most interesting fact though is that John Surratt, after living in Europe for a few years, was apprehended in Egypt and actually stood trial in a civilian criminal court - and was acquitted due to a hung jury. Hard to believe his mother knew about all of this and he didn't. But certainly there had to be a lot more associations that have never been identified. Certainly both her original tavern and the boarding house were fronts. And of course she knew these activities could cost lives during the War. I don't think she was innocent in that respect. But unfortunately they never had a chance to talk to Booth. Dramatizations of this always make it look like the pursuers had no choice, but Booth's companion made it out alive.
It was thought that by checking Mary Surratt's cell phone records it could be found out if she received any calls from Booth. Trouble is she used a burner phone that yields no information. She purchased the phone in the Confederate Supply Co. store in Washington DC. She purchased the phone from a clerk working in the store named Lucy Hale who just happened to know Booth personally. Mary remarked to Lucy Hale , "So you know Booth too" Lucy replied, " I sure do. He is a bum actor who does not want to work any more and he asked me to marry him because he expects me to support him." " Plus that lousy bum Booth was in here yesterday trying to sell a book he just wrote entitled ' I killed Lincoln" People in the store said your book is crap. The President is alive and well. Booth replied, " Not for long!
Should the NPS ever decide to record an audio version of the Thurber essay " If Grant Had Been Drinking at Appomattox" then Ranger Smith is the one to narrate it.
Also Morris vrs. Green. I happen to know that my niece Mary Morris Father is Ray Green. An Indian from San Manuel Indian reservation. Not Yamaava. Mayor Morris is the Author of Drug Court. After his own daughter died of an overdose. Unaware she had a problem. But out of love for her, did lobby the Whitehouse. An Amazing man's demonstration of Love to which deserves more than a passing glance. As the Bible describes miracles come through the law and or great love. To this cause have I made my stand. And the loving memory of George and Martha Washington.
Possibility that she was guilty of being involved but also being truthful of not recognizing Paine the night of the assassination. She could have been speaking the truth when she said she had not asked that man to dig a ditch and that being true, she didn't recognize the man.
Remember all these supposed facts are the words of those who are prosecuting her. Who really knows if any of that testimony is true.
I guess we would be 6th cousins. My great grandmother was related to Mary's brother Archibald he was her grandfather if im not mistaken. But it seems like there was an effort to remove any connection in the 1870s. My understanding is that Zadoc was not a model citizen
22:30 is the moment Mary Surratts fate was sealed forever
There was also speculation and a book or two written implying that there were members of the government who allowed this to occur and even helped make it happen. Maryland was a slave state, but was with the union, so there was a lot of conflicting loyalties in the state, the government, everywhere. Likewise West Virginia seceded from Virginia when Virginia seceded from the Union. Kentucky was neutral but wound up under protection and control of the Union when threatened by the Confederacy. What was at stake would have been the nature of Reconstruction, and Lincoln was holding out for reconciliation. Most of the North wanted the South to pay for the war, and to really treat them like a conquered nation. There was also a rumor that Lincoln's son burned a lot of documents because he claimed they would bring down the country if the truth about his father's death was known. Can't confirm this of course, but there are interesting circumstances. A rather unreliable policeman was Lincoln's sole protection that night, and he left at intermission to go out for drinks - at the same bar Booth had been drinking in. They basically crossed paths. When Booth went to kill Lincoln the guard's chair was empty. Grant passed on an invitation to attend the play with the Lincolns that night. Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War, was not targeted that night. If the killing of Johnson and Seward had succeeded, Stanton would have been President. The bodyguard crossing paths with Booth is the most intriguing thing to me. Booth arrived at the theater and immediately went to the bar, drank and waited until the body guard left the theater. That sounds like part of a plan. That's the way things are done. I doubt that Booth would depend on dumb luck. He only had a derringer and a knife, so he was not planning on a gun fight with police. No, this whole thing has always sounded a bit too pat for me. And they could not convict John Surratt in a criminal court of anything. Doubful they could have convicted Mary either.
Didn't know about bodyguard/Booth "connection" and Stanton possibly becoming the President. The deep state undoubtedly was at work even then.
Look into the IHS.
Johnson approached Booth for Stanton, who was and remained Military Dictator until the War ended in August 1866. Impeachment of 68 was over the two murders having a falling out.
@@karlburkhalter1502 I saw a documentary about this when I was a kid on television. Don't remember who produced it. But there was a big investigation undertaken by Lincoln's son. He ultimately destroyed his findings and said something to the effect that if the public knew the contents it would destroy the country.
@@JustVinnyMusic The Highest ranking CSA Intelligence Agent not to burn his papers was Captain Thomas Conrad who wrote "Rebel Scout." Edwin Stanton burned all US Intelligence records as did CSA Secretary of State Benjamin. What remained was classified until 1953. 1977 FBI Forensic Study of released record is covered by Don Thomas on Utube
My double bad, he escaped capture in Italy, and was later captured on arrival in Egypt. U.S. Navy brought him back to the U.S.
How the hell do you get captured back in that day in a foreign country? He must've not been keeping a low profile lol
@@TOCR815 Yes a real untold story there. What's interesting is that the U.S. Government actually was able to apprise these foreign governments of his whereabouts and facilitate his capture. I think the intelligence world back then was a lot more complex than history has told us. I would think he would stand out a bit in Egypt. Why didn't he go to Canada or Britain? For that matter he could have gone west to the frontier and blended in. A very curious character.
@@TOCR815When John Surratt was in hiding as a papal guard in modern day Italy he got very unlucky when an old friend from America joined the guards too and in turn alerted the authorities.
@@JustVinnyBlues ...He first escaped to Montreal and the rat lines would take him to England where he was spotted. When Johnson and Stanton heard of this they cancelled the reward on his head. He then went to Rome where he became a soldier in the Popes army. He would later be identified by someone in Rome, and they had to arrest him to keep the complicity of the Vatican secret. He would then escape, wink wink, and later be arrested in Alexandria Egypt and brought back to the states where the Catholics, Jesuits and Freemason circled their wagons and seated a jury that wouldn't convict no mater how much evidence they had, and he walked. John Wilkes Booth did actually escape. There was a confederate soldier still imprisoned who had the same initials as Booth and had the same tatoo as booth on his hand, JWB, as was common in those days. He was taken out of prison and supposidly sent on a secret mission. This is the man who was murdered at garrets farm. Although there was orders not to shoot, they had to kill him or they would have easily proven it wasn't Booth. All these video's about the assassination that don't bring up the Vatican and it's leading role is a joke.
I don't get why Spangler was charged with anything. What evidence did they have against him for being a part of the Conspiracy?
I simply see him as the guy who let JWB into the theater because he knew he worked there and didn't suspect he had any harmful intentions. Maybe he was simply guilty by association but maybe he was guiltier than we assume.
@@komfykoala6083 Nobody talks about Spangler other than saying he got sentenced to 6 years and was pardoned. I hear all kinds of debate about whether Mary Surratt and Dr. Mudd were innocent. From what I have heard, they were both guilty. The one I think may have been wronged the most (Spangler) is rarely discussed. I don't get it. Are there trial transcripts on his case?
@@elainejohnson6955 Yes you can find them here (linked below)!
I was looking through them the other day, I was planning to give them a read sometime soon (I'm currently on a book, once I finish it I'll move on to the transcripts):
archive.org/details/conspiracytrialf02poor/mode/2up
I found these via the Ford's Theater website section where they talk about the defense/prosecution statements against each conspirator. I hope other people can benefit from reading them.
Spangker was basically guilty because he was friendly with Booth. The prosecutions assumed Booth needed an accomplice in the theatre to pull off his plan and pinned that role on Spangler. As a famous actor Booth had a free pass into any theatre in the city, he didn’t need any help in that regard. But because Spangler was friends with Booth, it was guilt by association. The court did not prove its case against him, in my opinion.
The speaker is sloppy with his facts. At 50:35 he says they tested the gallows at eleven twenty five and at 52:27 he says the prisoners were brought into the courtyard at about eleven fifteen. So they were testing the gallows 10 minutes AFTER the condemned were brought out? I don't think so.
And where was Homeland security at and black lives matter
My bad, Surratt was not caught in Egypt, he was caught in Italy.
He was caught in Egypt.
Correct, when he escaped from the Vatican. Kind of like putting fox in charge of the chicken pen!
@@leonvoltaire ...Do I have to watch the whole video or can you tell me if this guy even brings up the complicity of the Vatican and Pope Pious IX, the person who actually ordered the assassination. Mary Surratt's boarding house was set up to be the meeting place for Catholic and Jesuit Priests, who hatched the plot. These videos that talk about this issue that don't mention the Vatican are a complete joke.
...Warshington....🤔
She was guilty but didn't deserve to be hung
51:13 - "3 am in the morning". Sure it wasn't 3am in the afternoon?
First of off: I LOVE THIS GUY. Second of off: I LOVE THIS GUY. Third of guy....I. LOVE. This guy... Third of guy.. (I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY.) BUT SOMETIMES I CANT UNDERSTAMES HIM
This storyline is so bogus there's too much to list. If you are interested enough read: The Suppressed Truth About The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. By Burke McCarty. They won't tell you that John Suratt became a personal bodyguard to the Pope.
As long as lock ness knew about Orleans before new Mexico.
I have wondered if Mary Surrat was in love with Booth and may have have had an affair too. She was a widow(perhaps lonely)and may have sought the affections of this good looking and dynamic young man. If they were involved it is very likely Booth shared his plans with her. What do others think?
I think she was too old!
Anna Suratt was infatuated with JWB as was most of Washington DC a very accomplished ladies man.
She was up to her eyebrow in the conspiracy
She’s guilty
Were you a tech at Porter Chevrolet?
@@Bob31415 No sir. I’m from Louisville Kentucky
@@jonathansparks7558 Ok, thank you. It was a shot in the dark.
The day is getting close ....7th of July...
really sad day.
I would have looked at Mary Surratt's personal history. It seems and maybe this is a stretch but it is unlikely that a woman who ran a boarding house...you might look for military experience...and if she is accused of allowing her boarding house to be used as a safe house that is also unseemly because it would be a public place.
Really at the most they should have only got life terms in prison mabe?
Hanging is barbaric!
Barbaric acts get treated accordingly
Lee's surrender ended the rebellion in that area. How did they still claim juridiction?
Watch The Conspiracy by Robert Redford
Great movie but a lot of their details are contested. One of the biggest is portraying Mary's lawyer as this heroic, inexperienced but brilliant legal mind. There's a lot of evidence that this was just not true. That the lawyer(s) assigned to her weren't just inexperienced, they were straight up awful. I love David & Goliath stories too but, sometimes they're just not true.
If your looking to Hollywood for a straight story, then I've got some land I want to sell you when the tide goes out. A whole lotta land.
Robert Redford played fast and loose with the facts in that inaccurate film.
Instead read American Brutus by Michael Kaufman you will learn the TRUTH
Oslo, Canada? What did he say? Surratt was in Montreal and Toronto. Oslo, Canada? Never heard of it.
Nor the fact that several churches helped him in the escape.
Well, she knew what was going on in her house and she didn't tell the authorities because of her Confederate sympathies, so I say she was guilty!
Lincoln had already changed the country jailing congressmen, reporters and such. (Inorder to save the counrry and your democracy)
Mary got involved because of her kids. She was trying to protect her children and provide for them. Was she guilty? Possibly yes but her motivation was not political. It was maternal.
so what,,,guilty
At 34 minutes and 40 seconds, in the specifications against Mary Surratt a phrase is read that and other divers places. Divers is the way the word diverse was spelled in the 19th century. And is pronounced thusly. It is written the same way with in the King James Bible. It lends a little bit better context to the phrase when you know what the word actually is and how it's pronounced.
As a construct of guilt or innocence, she was definitely involved in the plot to kidnap or kill the leader of the military that had invaded the South. The only commander who had invaded states of the United States. The primary person who had ignored almost every tenet of the United States Constitution and the primary person who had actually committed treason by making war on elements of the country that he himself had claimed were still States within the United States. What do you like it or not, being the leader of a foreign Nation invading your country, makes him a viable military Target. Are concealed probably didn't help that communication between Lincoln and Booth sometime before that, had shown that boosted asked for leniency for a friend of his who was in a Northern prison, and Lincoln had assured him that his friend would be held in good Stead. However like many things that Lincoln did like shutting down any newspaper that pointed out the illegalities of all of Lincoln's actions, he went ahead and allowed the man to be put to death. Making not only himself a Target because he was the leader of the invading armies. D d and became a very personal animus between Booth and himself.
John Wilkes Booth went on to pass away I believe in 1902 in Enid Oklahoma. And there are a number of bonafides he's that show that this was indeed the case.
The pronunciation of a word is not critical to this presentation. Did you just want to TELL us what you know? Why are you so concerned with the pronunciation of a word when the audience for this is NOT scholars, but average people visiting Gettysburg?
@@TheVeek192 44 Hawk's point is relevant. There is a huge difference between "divers places" and "diverse places." I already knew what 'divers' meant in 1865, but most people probably don't.
P.S. If Mary knew of Booth’s plans and didn’t share them with authorities, she was guilty and deserved her punishment.
Leave it to the NPS to get a speaker who can't annunciate
According to the book The Lincoln Conspiracy by David Balsiger published in 1977 Booth escaped Washington DC with a smuggler friend named Ed Henson and NOT David Herold. The book also says that Lewis Thornton Powell and Lewis Payne were 2 different people and although Lewis Powell carried out the attack on Steward Lewis Payne was found guilty. The book says confession statements by O'Laughlin and Atzerodt state that Payne and Powell were separate individuals. Evidence indicates that Payne was arrested and framed for his cousin, Powell's evil deed. Is any of this true? These facts in The Lincoln Conspiracy book differ from what I have read in all the other Lincoln Assassination books. The Lincoln Conspiracy book also says a man named James William Boyd was killed in Garrett's barn ant NOT Booth. Is that true?
The fact that one of the words in the title is "conspiracy" should be a red flag. It may or may not mean the book is full of errors. That's for a discerning mind to discover.
Yes, conspiracies exist. There really was a conspiracy to kidnap and/or kill Lincoln and the others, but unfortunately, "conspiracy theorists" of every stripe have a tendency to make facts fit their conclusions rather than the other way around. Believing in bogus conspiracy theories is a common human weakness. The best explanation I have is that we are "pattern recognition" machines. In the absence of dispassionate analysis of evidence, we can be led to believe almost anything. Constant mental vigilance is necessary to keep from falling into such traps. It's so easy to do. I've succumbed before (LIHOP 9-11 truther...ugh; I was stupid) and I'll probably succumb again. Hopefully, each time I descend into such sloppy thinking, my mind will catch it more quickly than the time before. Fingers crossed. All we can do is our best.
Yes that is true. The reason why Boyd was chosen is because he had the same JWB tatoo on his hand as it was common in those days. He was still imprisoned after the war but was summoned to the White House to supposidly go on a secret mission and they set him up to be murdered. Although there were orders not to shoot, they had to kill him otherwise it would have easily been proven that he was not Booth.
That Book is all lies.....Please read American Brutus by Michael Kaufman learn the TRUTH
I'm glad this talk is captioned as unfortunately, this man presenting has dreadful enunciation...
Back then you are guilty bye association today she would be not guilty
This talk has little to no relation to its title.
Not guilty... enough.
WRONG.....VERY GUILTY
Guilty as sin ! 🇺🇸
Glad she swung for it !
The well-known actor John Wilkes Booth was the Antichrist who killed the Christ 'Father Abraham' Lincoln. Booth was reincarnated as the well-known actor Ronald(6 letters) Wilson(6) Reagan(6) the prophesied "666 1st Beast"/Antichrist.
I believe her son was out of town, probably with courier duties and knew nothing about the final assassination plot. She was not an essential member of the assassination but was a member and had opportunities to save herself from the death penalty though that would have been out of character of a conspirator. She could have done a full dump on the plan, the name the assassins and their potential location when the troops showed up at her door and claimed she thought it was just Confederate talk until after the fact. I believe 2 sentences for men and woman is sexist though it obviously goes on to this day.
Instead of facing her fate with courage, she cowered all the way to the gallows. "Please don't let me fall!" Um, lady, isn't that the point? At least, according to accounts, she died very quickly, unlike strong as an ox Lewis Paine, who writhed for fifteen minutes. And little Davy Herold wet himself. LOL
One must have to admit that conspiring to assassinate a US President and destabilize the federal government; are very, very serious crimes.
Let’s all say it one time together “Wash-ing-ton”.
I like Karlton but I shiver when I hear Warshington.
During ww11 the military did commission some women aviator service pilots. Civil pilots to train the men and gain their confidence of the men to do the mission of bombing Heroshima. Then later shunned by the military. In our homeland were women later arrested for drowning their children. Poisoning their children for sympathy. Ect. I happen to know that we as citizens are in deed profits. As unbeknownst to us and our parents we had become insured by the Government. Hence the meaning of the name soldier means sold into duty. And this drug war a direct violation of our constitutional rights. But in respects to the Bible and knowing the Kings dream. In the end the Capital of Israel shall be Bethlehem. As this is General George Washington's inherited worth and speech made at valley forge. He having received his prophecy from the French Indians. That he would become a great leader not warrior. Hence the Great White Father. in reference to the White race. And the law being latin. Should follow in example to this respect. And also doctors prescriptions should Latin be revered as a healing agent. Not something to be compromised by the laws of the state nor our Government. In reference to executions. Which has been in effect since the time of Jesus. But salvation promised even through the law. In future times. And the Constitution be honored. And entered into rest as successful in Re: Moses be granted to enter into the Father's rest. Habeus Corpus.
As Sacramento vrs. Jerusalem. (Bethlehem)
In reference to Mary Surrette. Surrette vrs. Parker. First Indian to receive an 🙏 inheritance from white man.
This guide should really work on his english, he might know what he's talking about but I couldn't understand half of what he said.
The speaker is interesting but his enunciation needs a lot of work.
He obviously has a speech impediment of some kind. But he can be clearly understood, mainly because he's speaking so slowly and deliberately that's the main thing. He seems passionate about the subject so it's great that he's able to do this work if it makes him happy. Btw, I've seen several videos here on youtube where the speaker's words were crystal clear but were extremely boring. This man is not boring, again, because he genuinely cares about the subject. Good for him.
Elvis dunnit.
Can't watch this. This is the same guy whose bad diction ruined his lecture on Appomattox.
This man obviously has a severe speech impediment but he's clearly passionate about his subjects. It's distracting as hell but you have to admire the man's moxie for doing these talks even with his impediment. He's willing to expose himself to ridicule, that's how much he enjoys doing it. I gotta tip my hat to him for that.
Guilty, guilty, guilty. Conspiracy!
Wawwww
We're only talking about this because she was a woman. If she were a man there would be no debate. Of course she was guilty
Great research. Great history. Awful presenter from the NPS.
Women in those days could not say anything. Not guilty. Sins of the Son
Actually, TM Harris would not agree to your statement. Are you saying she was not guilty, out of emotions, or facts?
According to this General, the boarding home was used to plan the assassination.
@@leonvoltaire To this day, emotion has been the tool used by many to vindicate Mrs. Surratt. The assessment of facts appears to have no relevance.
its pronouced sirat not sarratt
"Surr-rat" I believe it's pronounced.
@@komfykoala6083 Correct!
I say not guilty cause there was really no proof
Nice recitation of the events. But does not answer the question. Was Surratt guilty. Personally I think so.
Lecturer misses too many facts,
Correct, including some Jesuits visit her too.
Quite true!
Guilty as sin..
She was an innocent woman. If anything the photo of John Wilkes Booth behind the mirror was due to the fact that her daughter Annie had a crush on Wilkes. She sent her son to become a guard so as not to fight in the civil war.
She was guilty.
Glad she swung high.
guilty as hell, next.
GUILTY! GUILTY AS SIN!!
This guy sounds like he's drunk or has a speech impediment.
That's what you chose to focus on?
Hey Bram...
You sound like you need a country asswhipping.
Guilty
She was Guilty end of story
If Mary Surratt had anything to do with it she should have been hailed a hero for doing in that damn bastard who killed over 850,000 people.
EW triggered.
Just think of how many more deaths Lincoln could have caused had he lived!
Please don’t have this guy present any more lectures.
This man is slurring his words. Has he been drinking?
About 10 minutes into it I started....
1964GJH : No. this man apparently has a small speech impediment. It is noticeable in all of his videos. He is a very knowledgeable historian on the Civil War. Kudos to him for making videos despite it.
Or bad on him or his supervisors, who didn't have the brains to get someone who can speak well to give the lecture
I get the impression he may have had a stroke in the recent past.
Such rude comments. The gentleman has a slight speech impediment. Should that stop him from speaking? Have some empathy. At least he did'nt start every sentence with "So" or "like".
terrible speaker
Not guilty. It was a rush to judgement.
Yes, a rush to judgement, and so is your opinion. She was definitely involved.
Glad she hung, ole legs dangling. Hell should have hung more of the traitorous sons of bitches.
Gary Morris I think that was kinda the problem. We don’t know if she was truly involved.
Correct, why they never listen to what those of whom that were there and heard the evidence, is amazing. I urge anyone in doubt, to research, TM Harris.
Don't know, why do you state this? Try doing some research on this, like books from one who was part of tribunal.
The way the dude mispronounces "Washington" is beyond annoying - there is no "R" in Washington!!
Johwn Suwwart... Da Fawm houwse... Disgwuntwled swalve... Couldn't get passed that.
Neither could I. I can generally listen to these all day, but this guy? Nope!
What's in that botle...
Nah, he's not drunk, but I wish I were.
Thomas Reissmann : then perhaps you are not interested enough in the material?
Shhhh. Be vewy vewy quite. Hunting wabbits.
This "park ranger's" diction is terrible. Hard to understand. But yeah, she was guilty.
This guy repeatedly mispronounced Mary Surratt's name. The name is NOT pronounced like "Sir Rat!" Her name was pronounced like "Sir Rot." He needs to get it right!
Guilty
