Forrest Tanaka<p>I watched the final episode of <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Manhunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manhunt</span></a> last night, and I very much enjoyed this series. I’m looking forward to breakdowns of the series from some of my trusted YouTube historians.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AppleTVPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleTVPlus</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/JohnWilkesBooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnWilkesBooth</span></a></p>
Forrest Tanaka<p>Feeling a little nervous after seeing the trailer for “<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Manhunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manhunt</span></a>,”&nbsp;as it seems to be taking some historical liberties. The “Freedom for the south!” line —&nbsp;contemporaneous reports don’t completely agree on what <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/JohnWilkesBooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnWilkesBooth</span></a> said just after shooting <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AbrahamLincoln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbrahamLincoln</span></a> — but I’ve never heard that one.</p><p>But still looking forward to checking it out. Didn’t expect to see Patton Oswalt wearing mid 19th-century clothing and facial hair.</p><p>When my daughter was a teenager and we were watching something about the Lincoln assassination, I mentioned to her, “You’ve seen the Lincoln assassination so many times!” as we’d watched The Conspirator, National Treasure 2, and a couple of documentaries about it. She’s very familiar with “Sic semper tyrannis.”</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFT-b8eKdSo" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=VFT-b8eKdS</span><span class="invisible">o</span></a></p>

5W1H<p>The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution required ratification by 27 of the then-36 states: on 6 December 1865, Georgia became the 27th State to ratify the Amendment which abolished slavery. Sadly, President Abraham Lincoln didn't get to witness this monumental event as he was assassinated on 15 April 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. <br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trivia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trivia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/AbrahamLincoln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbrahamLincoln</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Georgia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JohnWilkesBooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnWilkesBooth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/SlaveryAbolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlaveryAbolition</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ThirteenthAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThirteenthAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a></p>
