Chasing Lincoln's Killer Practice Test

What was the purpose of Booth delivering a package to Mary Surratt?

to deliver guns, ammunition, and other supplies later to deliver money to deliver a confession to deliver a note to Lincoln

Correct Answer:

to deliver guns, ammunition, and other supplies later

Explanation:

Booth needed a discreet way to move weapons and supplies for the conspiracy, and Mary Surratt’s boardinghouse provided a trusted contact point along the escape network. Delivering a package to her was part of arming the conspirators and stockpiling gear that would be used in the plan and during the escape. This shows why the action makes sense in the story: the plot relied on passing arms through reliable, connected civilians rather than handling money, a confession, or a message to Lincoln.
