Booth is the younger brother of Lincoln that struggles to make any income. He is a good looking man, or at least he portrays himself to be, that is somewhat dirty and unkempt due to the fact that he does not have the money to afford running water.

If you haven’t heard, President Obama was in Hollywood yesterday. He traveled with his motorcade to Hollywood for a guest appearance on a late night TV show. Fans who were visiting the area got a big surprise that they will never forget. As for the locals, they are still grumbling over the traffic woes. Every time I see the motorcade I just smile in awe. Little American flags on the corners of the cars, police everywhere and patriotic music blaring. OK, technically the music is from my car, but it’s

The Civil War The name Civil War is misleading because the war was not a class struggle, but a sectional combat, having its roots in political, economic, social, and psychological elements. It has been characterized, in the words of William H. Seward, as the “irrepressible conflict.” In another judgment the Civil War was viewed as criminally stupid, an unnecessary bloodletting brought on by arrogant extremists and blundering politicians.
