^So you're going to just accept what the government or history books tell you? Do you also believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy? And the same goes for MLK. Was it some random person acting alone, or was there some other conspiracy? Voted : John Wilkes Booth I read that Mary and Abe loved each other, and Booth was upset about emancipation, which seems like a motive. Voted : John Wilkes Booth I don't think there's enough evidence for me to believe otherwise. A couple of things about the gun doesn't add up either.

I'm sure a lot of people wanted to kill Lincoln over the whole civil war thing.

Voted : John Wilkes Booth I don't think Mary Todd Lincoln would have had the kind of emotional breakdown she did if she had had a part in it. Yes, guilt can make a sensitive person crazy, but her breakdown does not seem to have been the result of guilt. What would she have gotten from it anyway? She spent the remaining years of her life in misery.

"Mary Todd was barred from attending the funeral and two armed guards made sure she did not leave her room for 10 days after the shooting" "Mary Todd Lincoln was denied the normal customary widowers pension three times by the U.S. Congress" Apparently somebody thought she was guilty. "^So you're going to just accept what the government or history books tell you? Do you also believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy? And the same goes for MLK. Was it some random person acting alone, or was there some other conspiracy?" For now, yes. Show me absolute conclusive evidence of otherwise and I'll gladly change my mind. "What if" conspiracy theories are way too easy and far too numerous.

Voted : John Wilkes Booth Recent evidence has come to light which suggests that Lincoln was terminally ill with cancer and would have died within the year had he not been shot. If I remember right, Mary Todd was a little "touched", as they used to say back then, long before Lincoln was assassinated. I'm sure the opium didn't help. I think it was her decision to not attend his funeral because she was so heavily grief stricken. Knowing her condition, those around her supported her decision. I'm almost sure the armed guards where probably there to protect her more than anything else. If a relative insider (at least as much as Booth was then) were to kill a president today, you can rest assured that his spouse would not be left alone without constant guard. The matter about the pension though, I've honestly not looked at yet. There could be numerous reasons why it could be denied.
