  As a new member I think The American Film Company's mission to make films of American historic events (historically accurate) is a fantastic way to educate those people who take pride in their country,and want to learn more about our American stories.

  I agree with any historian who says that Mary Surrat was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I think she lived a tough life with her husband and after she died, she probably a tough life up until April 1865. According to her, in the film: the Conspirator, She did keep her son to close and she wasn't about to give up her son for getting involved in the plot to kidnap Lincoln and or in the Conspiracy to kill Lincoln too.

  In my opinion, Fredrick Aiken did the best he could to defend Mary Surrat especially with his theme: Don't allow your desire for revenge cloud your judgement. But I have a theory that, When the innkeeper John Loyd testified that Mary brought the french field glasses and carbine rifles out to the tavern saying "get the Shooting irons ready". I'm thinking that was she an accomplice to Booth? Because she did that on Booth's behalf while Booth was stalking Lincoln in Washington City and what Booth told her what to do during that conversation with Mary at her Boardinghouse days before the assassination.

  The film world is greatly enriched by the efforts of these great folk at the Film Company of Americal Now history and historical accuracy become the primary consideration of film making rather than simply entertaining. people. Given the incredible power of film to engross mass audiences, it is inevitable that more people will now learn more about the history of the greatest civilization in human history. `The Conspirator' is a great beginning,. It showed that even in times of the greatest national trauma conceivable, the United States is able to keep its footing on the ground on which it was established. The fact that the moral to the story is that civilians earned the rights to be tried in civilian courts tells it all. It gives proof to President Obama's claim about the ability of the great democracy to continually improve itself.
