The Death of Honest Abe

 

 It was April 14, 1865, five days after the Civil War ended. Abraham Lincoln, and his wife Mary , went together to watch a play called "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater. At that time, John Wilkes Booth, an actor at the theater, was there as well. Booth had supported the Confederacy and hated Lincoln.

 While Lincoln, the sixteenth President, was watching the play, he was assassinated by Booth during a secret attack.  He was shot in the back of  the head. America was shocked by Lincoln’s death. He had saved the union and had promised the Confederacy peace. Here are a few conspercy theories on the Linclon assassination

1.Andrew Johnnson was involved with Booth

2.Lincon died by a way of  a simple conspiracy orgnized by John Wilkes Booth

3.Lincon's assassination was a result of a Confedrate plot

4.Lincons assassination was the result of a conspiracy of powerful international bankers

5.The Roman Catholic church was behind Lincon's Assassanation  

6. Secratary of war Edwin Stanton was the mastermind behind Lincon's assassanation 

 

Without Lincoln’s contribution we would have lost all that we have today. We shall carry on what he has left behind!
