Failed Kidnapping and the Assassination Plan

On the evening of April 14, 1865, the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was shot while attending a play in Washington DC.

The assassination wasn’t a random act. It had been planned for weeks, multiple people were involved in the conspiracy, and he was ultimately one of the final casualties of the war. 

The weeks after the assassination saw the greatest outpouring of grief the country had ever experienced and a series of unprecedented trials.
