- One of the most shocking moments in History was when John Wilkes Booth inside of a Theatre in Washington, went up behind President Abraham Lincoln and assassinated him. In the moments that followed there was much chaos, as many sought to try and capture Wilkes Booth, but the Lincoln Conspiracy went much deeper. One woman who was executed for her involvement in the death of Abraham Lincoln was Mary Surratt, who owned a boarding house and a tavern where the conspirators would meet. They also stashed weapons at her house, and Mary Surratt was someone who did harbour confederate sympathies.
Following the death of the President, Mary was arrested and was accused of colluding and harbouring members of the group that killed Lincoln. She was placed on trial and despite being very ill she was sentenced to death, and many believed that her death sentence was wrong. On the gallows along with the other members of the conspiracy, Mary Surratt was executed on a blistering hot day, and many believed including the executioner that she would be reprieved. But she was not spared, and she was the only woman executed for her involvement in the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln.

I’ve been to Ford’s theater in DC and the Peterson house across the street, where Lincoln died. I got to go to the door that Booth went through to get to Lincoln. In the theater basement was part of Booth’s journal while on the run, and the derringer Booth used to shoot Lincoln. Sad but interesting! Lincoln’s wife Mary never recovered from the tragedy - just grieved until her own death.
Yelp. Exactly Thames for me. Powerful and sad, and so preventable.
The same not Thames
She lost two of her sons during the war, losing Abe was too much for her. Her only surviving son, Robert did have her committed to an asylum for some time.
She was nuts long before the war.
Another excellent video. Years ago, I was stationed where the conspirators were executed. Around the early 2000’s, the place was called Fort McNair. That part of the courtyard still stood cordoned off from the rest of the post. They had many pictures, some of which you shown, regarding the incident. Thank you again for another great video!
Will the Jan 6 conspiracy be done
i live down the street from Surratt's Tavern. Yrs ago I saw a map of Booths escape route overlaid with present day roads. It appeared he left the old road and passed right thru my front door. Back then it was a stagecoach trail. It was April. April showers? I always thought there was a even older road. It occurred to me he left the road maybe to avoid a downed tree, rain soaked soil, somebody coming up the trail, a house, barking dogs or another stage coach and doing so to avoid detection? Or was there another stop he made and whoever showed authorities his route omitted this. 160 yrs ago is alot of change.
You live down the street from living history. I cannot imagine that.
There was a movie about her, it was insinuated that she should have tried in a civil court by her peers.
She should have been tried in a trial of her peers not in a military tribunal. She’s civilian not military!
The entire trial was unconstitutional. For all of them. You are to be tried by a jury of your peers, not a military tribunal because the war was over.
She had a shrine of Jefferson Davis she was guilty to her eyeballs.
I've never heard that before, how do you know this? Can you tell me what book or other sources you have of this. I think she was guilty too.
I've been a student of the war all my life and have never heard such a thing. That's the kind of claim you need to substantiate.
She should have never been executed for her part in Lincoln's murder. No mercy was the norm for those times.
When I lived in DC I knew some people related to Mary Surratt. My exwife is from Surratsville
I miss B.K. Millers..now lives in New Zealand
Hi ! My mom and your mom are both moms ! Just to let you know ! 🫣🤣✌️
awwww she was ill. what a shame
Every channel I watch there's always someone complaining about the narrator 😠🇮🇪
For this one, there is justifiable cause. He really needs to do his homework before people take him seriously. 😎
And justifably so because many are computer generated artificial attempts that are way off beam with pronunciations. Some, like this one, are monotone and unconvincing. Accents are often an issue.
@@flamingfrancis His narration is fine what do you want performance art ?
The narrator is just fine....
And the saddest thing is that after reading your comment, people have to go out of their way to prove your point!
A great book to read is by a close friend of Lincoln,Charles Chiniquy, 50 Years in the Church of Rome.
And let's not forget Thomas M Harris and his book, Rome's Responsibly for the assassination of Lincoln.
Very surprised and happy to see this comment.
Almost as surprised as seeing this pop up in my recommendations. I guess AI has a way to go lol.
PLEASE STOP with the constant “HORRIFIC”!
Come on, it's not that horrific he uses it.
If you don't like it, skip yhe channel
It is HORRIFIC what was done to the people he talks about!! His channel, not yours. Go elsewhere.
@@bradhanley8368 the
@@meighanlynne piss off
"With malice towards none"...
Good.
What is the "horrific" part of this? She was sentenced, the sentence was carried out; It's simple as that. Had she been put on the rack, or maybe drawn and quartered, it might be considered horrific. She was hanged like all the others - quick and clean. Hardly a "horrific" execution.
I have eaten at Mary Surratt's boarding house. For those who may not know, it is now a Chinese restaurant in DC's "China Town."
I thought I read that the upstairs area was left intact.
@@AngieFraser-uh3bd That may be, I don't know. Would be interesting to see.
Did they prove beyond a doubt she knew what Booth and the others were up to?
"When you lie with dogs you wake up with fleas", sometimes, you wake up with a noose around your neck.
Guilty by association.
She knew. Boo hoo.
Mary Surratt being Roman Catholic did not help her case.
And allowing Jesuits to plan it all too, in her flat.
Look she had booth and guys in the house!
Not counting the sneaky Jesuits too!
I am related to her actually her brother Archibald. There was also a Zadoc. My understanding is the decendents of Zadoc are not upstanding citizens. Archibald was the only one with any morals in that group.
Good riddance to a conspirator
Mary was a devout Catholic and the church helped her son John escape death.
No tears for traitors.
Exactly
Hey he don't dig bloodshed...so what's the BEEF with HORRIFIC?
Few suggestion for next story: Pranzini,Landru,Petiot,Bonnot Gang,The Pollet brothers,Mata Hari.
Ravaillac ,and Damien,All have very interesting and detailed Stories .
He did Mata Hari
She was ill because at the time she was on her period.
As a one time landlord, I'd sure hate to be guilty of whatever my tenants were up to! It's funny how victors can justify their own crimes...
Not horrific. They didn't themselves. Like we never saw violence. Now that horrific.
Dodgy narration at best. 😶
The only he got out of town , they allowed him to leave our government hired booth , he did his job the man who died in the barn was not him they know it , but they need some to pay for the crime so Mary and the others hung , does it sound like the JFK who there was a fall guy and expert know more then 1 shooter , but 2 president trying to make change to fast and they had to die then in death they become a symbol for the movement they drag out , and it took years then the others who tried change MLK or Malcolm X both tried to help people of color both taking King by a single shooter seems they really like that one , then X shot by his own and after his death our government back off them.
I locked the door.
Mary needed her neck stretched just like the others.
What is another death amongst one million casualties?
All state-sponsored murder is horrific.
Shit happens lady
Lol
there is nothing HORRIFIC about murderers being executed. if they hadnt commited the crime they wouldnt have been executed
Karma, she got what she had coming.
Karma your mama what could this woman have done to commit"conspiracy to commit murder. ?She knew about a plot and did not rat anyone out in those days women were powerless she just got caught up in something she had little control of
She didn’t kill anyone, listen to the story
Guilty by association.
Justice was served.
To bad they gave them the long drop. They should have been given the short drop.
Love to see them do the deadman sance.
@@bradhanley8368 "justice"? No revenge was served
Vicious 🧐
I actually feel worse for the raw deal that Dr.Samuel Mudd got.
Doc Mudd helped the prisoners attack the negro's
which was what?
@@russellking9762 electric chair
@@invisibleray6987 was the chair invented then?
Samuel Mudd died from pneumonia
drop the adjectives in your titles please
I think its annoying too but It gets more clicks they're just playing the game
Don't like it, then skip the channel.
@@bradhanley8368 what execution isn't horrific, brutal etc hes almost implying they didn't deserve it. That's the annoying part and I'll comment if I please
Who cares?
A travesty of justice.
Poor woman didn’t murder anyone. No one should be put to death for smaller crimes
Guilty by association.
@@bradhanley8368 learn law and history. There’s a reason it doesn’t happen anymore today
@@GrabbaBeer idk with as pouplated as the world is getting we will see another great war and there will be alot of executions.
@@GrabbaBeer you are from California right
@@benjaminjohnsonboston nope va and not liberal
Catholics... smh.
This time your title is as wonky as your script.
Sounds like history wronged this woman bad enough the next president was spineless but she was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time
Guilty by association.
Nuff said
@@bradhanley8368 No.
Escape goat 🐐
Guilty by association and allowing her house to be used by the vermin.
Justice was served.
@@bradhanley8368 so no evidence.
The narrator has no idea on how to present a story. A five year old could read it better.
God bless Dixie and the brave southern soldiers❤
Tyranny won in the end.
