John Wilkes Booth is credited with assassinating President Abraham Lincoln on April 15, 1865. Co-conspirators include fellow confederates George Atzerodt, Lewis Powell, John Surratt and David Herold. James W. Pumphrey is responsible for providing Booth's getaway horse.
Lincoln's assassin, actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth, had also plotted with fellow conspirators, Lewis Powell and George Atzerodt, to kill William H. Seward (then Secretary of State) and Vice President Andrew Johnson respectively. Although Booth succeeded in killing Lincoln, the larger plot failed. Seward was attacked, but recovered from his wounds, and Johnson's would-be assassin fled Washington, D.C. upon losing his nerve.
The conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln were John Wilkes Booth, Samuel Arnold, George Atzerodt, Baltimore Plot, James William Boyd, Cipriano Ferrandini, David Herold, Samuel Mudd, Michael O'Laughlen, Lewis Powell, Edmund Sprangler, John Surratt, Mary Surratt and Louis J Weichmann.
