Tragically, it was to be his final concert. Twelve days later the 27 year old music icon was found unresponsive in the London apartment of his girlfriend, Monika Dannemann.

The Lincoln Assassination Conspirators Executed – July 7, 1865

On July 7, 1865, four conspirators involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln were executed at the Fort Lesley J. McNair. Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt were hanged after being convicted by a military tribunal for their roles in the plot to kill the president.

The assassination of Lincoln on April 14, 1865, carried out by John Wilkes Booth, shocked a nation already struggling with the aftermath of the Civil War. The executions remain one of the most debated moments in American history, with historians continuing to discuss the evidence, fairness of the trial, and the extent of each conspirator’s involvement.
