One of the most shocking moments in American History saw Abraham Lincoln shot inside of a theatre in Washington DC. But the plot and scheme to kill the President ran deeper, with a number of people involved inside of the Lincoln Conspiracy. Lewis Powell was a member of the group who had served inside of the Confederate Army, and he was considered a brutal man who would happily take a life. But he was tasked with killing the Secretary of State Henry Seward, and on the night Lincoln was shot he made his way to Seward's home.
Henry Seward was attacked by Lewis Powell inside of his home whilst he was in bed, and Powell believed he had done the job. But this was not the case and days later he was arrested and was brought to trial as a member of the group that plotted to kill the President. Lewis Powell had a very hard imprisonment, but then he was sentenced to death and on a huge gallows he was executed.
