In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln! Americans know "Honest Abe" as the 16th president, the guy on the $5 bill, and of course, the president responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery in the US. Unfortunately, he's also known for being assassinated. Most people probably think they know how this story goes, but we were shocked to learn the whole truth! What was meant to be an enjoyable evening at the theatre turned into a day that will live in infamy. The killer, John Wilkes Booth, was a horrible guy. Duh. Turns out, though, that he was even worse than you think. Make sure you listen all the way until the end when we (thank you, USA Today!) dissect the eerie similarities between Lincoln and JFK.
