Description

On April 14, 1865 America suffered the loss of one of it's greatest leaders. After General's Lee's surrender at Appomattox a few days earlier, the Civil War was coming to an end and Washington D.C. was in a celebratory mood. The cities jovial spirit would soon be changed by the actions of John Wilkes Booth, a man driven by ambition and a desire to avenge the South. In an elaborate plot devised to take place at Ford's Theatre, Booth became the first man to murder a President of the United States.
