One thing I disagree with very much is that they have Booth dressed in a long Gray coat.. the subtle statement is that he was a confederate and that is simply not true... question them about it and the answer is "it is just a gray coat" (wink..wink)...that burns my Bu**

The lines between which you read, Bama, must be be very wide. The long coat was very much in style. They were black or grey. There might have been some browns or navy blues among them. That Booth was wearing grey means nothing. If it had been a Confederate officer's frock coat, I might agree with you., but grey was as common as black. Would it have made a difference if he were portrayed in a long black coat?

With the idea that he was dressed in a long grey coat strikes me as straining at a gnat. Booth would be Booth in any other color. Find something else to object to.
