John Wilkes Booth on Twitter!

[JWBhistory]

Hello everyone! I created a twitter for John Wilkes Booth to chronicle his actions before, during and after his assassination of Abraham Lincoln. I am a junior in college and want to find ways in which History can benefit from social media. I am asking if you could help promote me through your twitter feeds and/or websites so that more people can share in the experience of Booth’s history changing actions. I am using Edward Steers Jr.'s Blood on the Moon to help me recreate Booth's actions and thoughts. Any and all suggestions are welcome, thank you!

Is this a project for a history class?

[JWBhistory]

No I'm doing this on my own to see how well it would work, I'm happy with the results

Dont forget to include pre war JWB brother saving one of Lincolns sons from certain death.

The Commander-in-Chief is a perfectly legitimate target.

The US has tried to kill our enemies Presidents several times.
