I sort of expected Mr Boyle to do something April Fools related, but he didnt, not that I'm complaining. We learned about Lincoln's assassination, which actually was really bizarre. I always thought he was shot walking off a train, but it turns out he was shot by a famous actor while watching a play. I guess it was karma when Lincoln's murder actually made things worse for the South in the long run, as Reconstruction wasnt fully carried out. Booth probably didnt think through the lasting downsides of killing the President of the United States too much, which is no surprise because he obviously was a little stupid. By assassinating Lincoln, Booth got himself killed, and worsened the South's wellbeing.
