The Unofficial life story of John Wilkes Booth | A Murderous Tragedian

This is not a conspiracy video, this is as accurate as possible, even when the truth was boring. I call it "Unofficial" because that is my name on here and I like to swear and cuss sometimes, and there are occasional mistakes here and there (as few as possible hopefully). I do not call myself "Unofficial" because I want to repeat conspiracies, that is not the case at all. Its because no official educational institution would ever endorse me because of how I speak, That's all.

My video is not be suitable for classrooms, but the information delivered in my video is as accurate as I was able to make it with the information at my disposal. With more time, experience, money and others to help, i hope to tighten up my production value. Until then, I'm hoping this long as hell monstrosity of a video is something you guys would be interested in watching.

Let me know what I did wrong in the comments down below, and give me your suggestions on what I should do in the future.

Below is the a list of sources I used to create and research this video. My sourcing is far from perfect and I plan to get better at it in the future. I watched every single video available on YouTube and major streaming sites, as well as a multitude of articles that I forgot to record in my source list early on in my research. I will do better with sourcing in the future.

Below will be the link to a playlist on YouTube that has all of the videos I found on YouTube for this. There are others that were not on YouTube however, sorry about that. Some of the videos in this playlist are about conspiracies, and that info has nothing to do with my video, but I still watched everything about John Wilkes Booth to make sure I had a full understanding, even if what they were saying was complete nonsense.
