Maybe this is not much of an issue, but I thought it worth mentioning. The Gettysburg National Military Park visitors center bookstore was-for awhile-selling bobblehead dolls of Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. The Lincoln doll makes sense, but a doll of his assassin holding a pistol like the one he used to kill Lincoln seems to me in very bad taste. Of course, it may also show how people in a certain part of this country still view the Civil War and who the real villain was. After a week on the shelves it was removed. However, the doll still sells online for $ 20.

If you would like to hear the other side of the story.

Tell me. What is the other side of the story. JW Booth was an assassin, how can he be honored at a place like Gettysburg
