Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Manhunt episode 3 continued to prove that the creators of the historical crime thriller are more concerned with creating gripping television than they are with sticking to the historical record.
9 Oswell Swann Didn't Know Who John Wilkes Booth Was His brazen confrontation with Booth never happened. Close In Manhunt episode 3, Roger Payano's Oswell Swann holds both Booth and his accomplice David Herold at gunpoint after Booth implies that he won't pay Swann the agreed-upon amount for guiding them safely to Rich Hill, the home of Samuel Cox. During the confrontation, Swann notes that he knows who Booth is and what he's done.
In reality, little is known about Samuel Cox's interaction with Booth once he arrived at Rich Hill. Per LincolnConspirators.com, Booth and Herold only approached Cox because they knew he was a Confederate sympathizer, and were not allowed to stay long at his home. The real Cox did send them to a pine thicket to hide as he does in Manhunt, but the notion that he had deep ties to the CSS and a secret basement seems to be a stretch.
6 Lincoln Never Spoke With Frederick Douglass & Edwin Stanton Together While he did have relationships with both men, the scene in Manhunt is fabricated. Part of what motivates Stanton throughout Manhunt is his desire to see Abraham Lincoln's vision for the newly reunified United States come to fruition.
Manhunt pivots in the opposite direction, with the sneering Sanders telling Stanton that he and Johnson had reached "an understanding", implying he has his claws in the White House The real Surratt did ultimately escape to England, but it happened well after it's shown to occur in Manhunt. Surratt hid out until well after his mother, Mary Surratt, was tried and hanged for her role in the conspiracy. He eventually found his way to Egypt, where he was arrested and extradited back to the United States. However, by that time, the statute of limitations had expired on most of the chargers he would have been tried for.
