Yesterday, we talked about Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address (March 4, 1865). We also talked about the difference between restoration and reconstruction after the Civil War. The point of restoration was to abolish slavery and the point of reconstruction was to gain social and political equality for African Americans, as well as to punish the South.
Today, we talked about Abraham Lincoln's assassination. It's weird to think that it took the United States almost two weeks after Lincoln's assassination for them to successfully find and kill John Wilkes Booth. It would never take that long to find someone responsible with today's technology and security measures, if it was even possible for them to get that close to the President.
