4: John Wilkes Booth -- Part 2: Sic Semper Tyrannis

Send a text message to the show! In the final act of this grim tale, Allison and Jayson unravel the missteps and ultimate outcomes of John Wilkes Booth and his conspirators, from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater and the attempted assassinations of Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward, to the Booth's final stand at a tobacco farm only 20 miles from the scene of the crime. Or did Booth get away in the end? Of course there's a conspiracy theory. Isn't there always?
