After Lincoln passed away, the country reacted with a combination of shock and grief that exploded into a furious public search to find his killer. That manhunt is going to be the focus of our final episode in the series, but this week let's move back in time a bit.

We are going to introduce you to the group of co-conspirators who surrounded John Wilkes Booth. Along with Booth himself, we explore their individual histories, plotting prior to the assassination attempts, and show how Booth changed from a failed kidnapper to his final role as the assassin who would take down the president.
