This is an interesting question? What would you think? I have a
friend who has claimed many times that the Civil War was a religious war
between the Catholic north and the Protestant south. He says that one of
his own ancestors, who was Irish Catholic from Canada volunteered, like
many other Catholics from Canada, to fight for the North in support of
Catholicism. He also has shown me census data from before and after the
Civil War which shows that before the war Catholicism was very rare in
the south and that it increased rapidly afterwards. He also says that
Booth was Catholic, as was co-conspirator Mary Surrat (he says she had
been a num). Her son, who escape, traveled through Canada to Europe and
then stayed at the Vatican as a guard until found out. According to a
recent book, he was soon captured and returned for trial. However, my
friend claims that according to the US National Archives Sarrat junior
was never tried nor even captured.
