Chinese Name: Lincoln's Assassination Attribute:16th President Location: US time:1April 865 14 Overview, behind the incident, the assassination process, and the mystery of the murderer abraham lincoln was the 6th president of the United States, leading the great struggle to save the union and end slavery. Although he only received a little elementary education in the frontier and had little experience in holding public office, his keen insight and profound humanitarian consciousness made him the greatest president in American history. Lincoln 1809 was born at dawn on February 12, 2002 in a cabin 3 miles south of Hall, Harding County, Kentucky. In his own words, his childhood was "a concise chronicle of poverty". When he was a child, he helped his family move firewood, carry water and do farm work. At the age of nine, his mother died, which was a cruel blow to Lincoln. Fortunately, his stepmother is very kind to him and often urges him to study. He has a harmonious relationship with his stepmother. Later, when he grew up, Lincoln began to make a living independently. He worked as a farm employee, stonemason, boatman and so on. 1830, the Lincoln family moved to Illinois, where he made his first political speech. Because he attacked slavery and put forward some suggestions beneficial to public utilities, Lincoln had an influence on the public, and with his outstanding personality, he was elected as a state senator in 1834. Two years later, Lincoln became a lawyer through self-study and soon became the Whig leader of the state legislature. 1846, he was elected to the us house of representatives. 1854, the bourgeoisie who advocated the abolition and restriction of slavery in the northern States established the Peace Party, and Lincoln soon became the leader of this new party. 1858 delivered a famous speech "Family Disputes", demanding that the development of black slaves be restricted and the motherland be unified. The speech expressed the wishes of the northern bourgeoisie and the people of the whole country, thus winning great prestige for Lincoln. 1860, Lincoln was elected as the Republican candidate as the16th president of the United States. Shortly after Lincoln took office, slave owners in the South started a civil war. In this war, Lincoln shouldered a heavy responsibility, which was unmatched by most American presidents in the past. However, he performed his duties with extraordinary perseverance and determination. Even when he was vilified, he never wavered in his direction: restoring the union and abolishing slavery. 1862 In September, Lincoln published the famous The Emancipation Proclamation, announcing the abolition of slavery and the liberation of slaves. 1June, 864, the civil war ended with victory in the north, marking the complete collapse of slavery. Because of Lincoln's outstanding achievements, he was re-elected as the president of the United States on1October 8, 1864+065438. However, before Lincoln put his postwar policy into practice, tragedy happened. 1April, 8651On the evening of the 4th, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford Theater in Washington. The murderer is a deranged actor who sympathizes with the south. 18 On April 5, 1965, abraham lincoln died at the age of 56. After Lincoln's death, his body was mourned for more than two weeks in the city of 14, and then buried in Prinsfield. The events behind the incident took place during the American Civil War, because 300,000 slave owners in the south expanded slavery in new immigrant areas, which threatened the existence and development of free states and violated the interests of the vast majority of federal people, including southern freemen. The inherent requirements of slavery forced the south to compete for more land. This policy is bound to conflict with the interests of free peasants and the bourgeoisie. On behalf of the interests of the northern bourgeoisie, Lincoln advocated limiting slavery. It contradicted the policies of the south, so his election became the conflict point of the interests of both the north and the south and became the fuse of the incident. Unwilling to fail, the southern slave owners tried to intimidate the emerging bourgeoisie by assassinating Lincoln. Although the assassination was successful, it actually unified the bourgeoisie of the United States of America for the first time, and finally completely shattered the counterattack of the southern slave owners, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the United States of America. On the evening of April 1865 in Washington, Lincoln invited General Grant and his wife to the Ford Theatre to watch the opera Our American Cousins. On the way to the War Department, Lincoln suddenly had an ominous premonition. He stopped and hesitated to consider whether he should cancel his plan to go to the theatre, but he soon gave up the idea. For his own safety, he personally asked Stiehl, the Minister of Operations, to send an army colonel named eckert to defend himself, but Tilton informed the President that eckert had arranged the task that night, and later had to appoint an officer named Brian as a guard around the President that night. The performance was wonderful, and the plot slowly developed to * * *, and someone quietly entered the presidential box. Soon, a gunshot hit the president in the back of the head. The president fell down and never woke up. 15 At 7: 22 a.m. on April 7th, President Lincoln passed away, although the doctors tried their best to rescue him. After shooting Lincoln, Booth began to flee, hoping to escape to the south. In his imagination, he would be regarded as a hero in the south for assassinating the president. Booth met Jeter, a former Confederate cavalry in Virginia. Jeter helps Booth and his associates hide in a farm, but the owner of the farm doesn't trust these strangers. He not only let Booth and his associates sleep in the barn, but also locked the barn door for fear that Booth and his associates would steal their own cattle. 1865 On April 26th, the 12th day after the assassination, the police of the search and rescue team asked Jeter about Booth's whereabouts, and arrived at the farm immediately in the middle of the night. Wilkes? Booth was tortured to death. Who is the real murderer of the president? How can he sneak into the box with guards? People want to know something about these problems, but the direct suspect has been killed, so we have to find out the facts through other channels. After some investigation, things finally came to light. The murderer is a professional actor named John Wechs. It is said that at the beginning of the civil war, he stood on the north side, and then suddenly supported the southern regime for some reason. He told people more than once that he must kill Lincoln one day, which not only removed the new ruler immediately, but also made him famous by killing Lincoln. Is the reason why he assassinated the president really that simple? Of course, this is only the official investigation result and the official explanation to the public. But many people don't believe this statement. They think that the assassination of the president must be a conspiracy with ulterior motives. Lincoln had a bad feeling before he went to the war zone, and asked the Minister of Operations to call Colonel eckert as his own guard. The Minister of Operations said that Colonel eckert had to perform other tasks that night and reassigned others. In fact, eckert didn't perform any tasks at all that night. He stayed at home all night. Why would the secretary of war lie? Brian, who was later sent to replace eckert, has never performed well. People who knew him didn't have a good impression on him, but Mrs. Lincoln personally asked him to defend Lincoln. Is there something hidden in this? As for the pursuit of the murderer, it is not impossible to capture him alive, but in the end he killed the only direct participant. Who shot him? Who gave the order to kill the murderer? What is even more surprising is that in later reports about the arrest of the murderer, people were surprised to find that it actually said: the murderer committed suicide. It is generally believed that Lincoln was assassinated because his policies were unfavorable to the south and angered the rebels in the south. Moreover, in the civil war, he successfully led the north to defeat the south and won the victory against the separatist movement in the south. The rebels in the south hate him so much that they want to get rid of him as soon as possible. 1861On March 4th, Lincoln will go to Washington to be sworn in as the16th president of the United States. When he went to Washington from his hometown, agents sent by the United States Federation planned to assassinate him on the way. Lincoln got wind in advance and came to Washington by another way to avoid assassination. After Lincoln came to power, the southern rebels began to commit murders more frequently, bent on killing Lincoln. They even published an advertisement in the newspaper: I am willing to go to Washington to assassinate Lincoln and Seward, as long as the confederacy (that is, the confederacy composed of 1 1 states in the south during the American Civil War) contributes 100 yuan as my reward. Interested parties please write to the email address 1 19. Because of frequent threats, people around Lincoln are very worried about his safety. They often remind Lincoln to be careful. Facing all this, Lincoln was as cool as a cucumber. He put all the threatening letters sent by terrorists in two big paper bags and wrote the word "assassination" on the outside of the paper bags. Although he showed indifference, he was already mentally prepared. Lincoln was a politician. He led the American people to victory in the civil war, which was related to the life and death of the country. He brought a new life to the slaves, but he was shot to death in peacetime. 1926, Lincoln's son robert todd lincoln died. Before he died, he burned some personal files of his father. He told his friends that he wanted to destroy those documents because they contained evidence that cabinet members had committed treason. Now people can't know whether what he said is true or not. If it's true, why did Robert burn the evidence? Why not make it public to the world? This became the mystery of Lincoln's death.
