Good movie: Mary Surratt and the assassination of Pres Lincoln


As always, history is a bit more complicated than a 2-hour movie.  Nevertheless, I think that it was unfair to "hang" Mary Surratt over the assassination of President Lincoln.

Mary Surratt was John Surratt's mother.  She was probably guilty of defending her son but it's hard to see how she had anything directly with the assassination.

It was a very good movie and another reminder of how divisive The Civil War was.
