You two don't understand. Booth is a very patriotic man. He really believes this is the greatest country ever.
Being the best doesn't mean being perfect.
It's naive to think that a country the size and influence doesn't pursue secret agendas.
Kennedy's assassination wasn't a secret agenda, it was a black stain. A dark moment in history. Do you know how many people Booth has shot for his country?
Approximately fifty.
Wow. That's a lot of blood to have on your hands. It's the kind of thing that would keep a person awake at night.
And Booth did that because he trusted that it was right, and who did he trust?
The government.
Oh.
If they lied about the murder of a president, they can lie about anything.
