On April 14, 1865, Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth and his coconspirators attempted to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William H Seward.
Only Booth proved successful in killing Lincoln as Seward was wounded but would survive and Johnson’s would-be assassin got drunk and gave up on the attempt.
Seward House Education and Outreach Coordinator Kate Grindsaff discussed the event during her monthly talk with Ted Baker on FLX morning. You can listen to the interview below.
