Book Review: "The Lincoln Conspiracy" By Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch

 


Another great collaboration with Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch which underlines the importance of the ingrained American ways from the past that are now colliding with the present.

Yes, I'm speaking of Anti-Slavery and the current state of rioting, looting, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

We cannot move forward if we don't acknowledge our past and don't you think it's time to do what's right for all of humanity-for our brothers and our sisters-so we can live as one?

The Lincoln Conspiracy delved into the secret plot to kill our 16th President and those who were against his beliefs in slavery.

Those who fought to keep slavery intact included one such group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle and they almost succeeded.

As it turns out it was a confederate sympathizer -John Wilkes Booth- that took the life of Abraham Lincoln -shot in the head-while attending the play," Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C.

This was a fab collaborative effort of thoughts, reflections, and writings that brought this plot to life as many of us weren't well aware it existed till this day.

A must read for a well written piece by these two fab authors.
