- Quotes
Edwin Stanton: Young man... always indebted to you for your courage in the field, but you must learn to tread lightly.
Frederick Aiken: Tread lightly? I will not tread lightly. You have predetermined her fate.
Edwin Stanton: Mary Surratt's fate rests entirely with the Commission. My concern is preserving our Union.
Frederick Aiken: Why did I fight for the Union if my rights aren't assured? You tell me.
Edwin Stanton: Fine words for rallying the troops, not for running a nation. They assassinated our president, and someone must be held accountable. The people want that.
Frederick Aiken: It's John Surratt you want. You don't even want Mary.
Edwin Stanton: I'll settle for either one.
