Question: Who Killed Abraham Lincoln?
"Abraham Lincoln had been murdered by artists.
Lincoln's election to the Presidency by the abolitionists had been the signal for the start of the Civil War.
He was the first President to proclaim a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Like Kennedy, he read Shakespeare, and he took long rides in the country, where he could dream far from the sounds of men. To a passing stranger he said, "If you have no friend, I will be your friend."
Even Karl Marx eulogized him.
Before the outbreak of the Civil War, there was a plot to kill Lincoln in Baltimore. He was warned by Pinkerton, however, and saved his life by crossing the town at night.
Afterwards, the New York Times wrote: "This plot was hatched by politicians, backed by bankers, and it was to be carried out by a group of adventurers."
On January 31, 1865, slavery was abolished. On April 14, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre in Washington.
The "assassin," John Wilkes Booth, was trapped and shot in a barn.
Colonel Baker tore 18 pages out of a notebook he was carrying.
Nevertheless, there was a trial, and the prosecutor, Bingham, proved that Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, was behind the assassination.
Eight accomplices were condemned, and four of them were hanged.
Jacob Thompson, the representative of the Confederacy in Canada, had deposited a large sum of money in Booth's account at the Bank of Ontario in Montreal.
But Booth and his accomplices were only the executants. The men behind the plot went free.
Lincoln was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson, who, on Christmas Day, 1886, proclaimed an amnesty and complete pardon.
The war that Lincoln had tried to avoid was over before his death.
He was killed out of vengeance. But it was an era when men killed for spite and made little attempt to hide it.
An Alabama newspaper had taken up a collection to cover the cost of the assassination, and a Confederate officer had volunteered for the job.
In those days of the Old Frontier, there were volunteers for all sorts of causes.
Men then were driven by their emotions."

| These men do not exist. And never did. And if you are silly enough to believe that they might have, then you are a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist, because this conspiracy never happened, and these men were never tried and hung for participating in it. |
Lincoln's murder was what is now known as a "decapitation strike" conducted against an enemy Head of State, and in the modern context it is assumed by default the US Secret Service (created, coincidentally, by Lincoln in his final presidential act before leaving to dress for Ford's Theatre that fateful evening) and the US and world Intelligence Community to be the prima face motive for any assassination attempt, failed or successful on the person of the President in the absence of information to the contrary.
Not a lone nut.
In March of 1981 for instance, when a Devastator bullet collapsed Ronald Reagan's lung, the first assumption was that there might likely be a connection to the escalating Polish Solidarity crisis and the hardline reaction being adopted by the Politburo in response, applying vigourous pressure on the Polish Communist Party to enact a swift and harsh crackdown, else they should step in and do it for them.
And the recent elevation to the Papacy of the first non-Italian Pope in 500 years, a Polish former employee of I.G. Farben at Auschwitz closely aligned with the Right Wing Conservative North Eastern US Establishment, the crypto-Catholic wing of the CIA (embodied by the Dulles dynasty, the Buckley clan and the likes of William Colby, Bill Cassey and other Knights of Malta), as well as the Reinhardt Gehlen Organisation and the Boorman Capital Group did not go unnoticed either by Moscow.
The Lincoln conspirators were tried and convicted by military tribunal, convened by order of the Secretary of War and empowered and enacted by a consensus of majority (although not unanimous) support within both the portions of the US Government then-functional and those portions of the electorate and US citizenry who were loyal and at that time not engaged in active revolt and rebellion.
They had been robbed of their legally designated Head of State, their electorally mandated leader, their lawfully empowered Commander in Chief by an act of war.
Had the original question posed been instead:
Question: Who shot Abraham Lincoln?
We might quite confidently and accurately say,
Answer: John Wilkes Booth.
But that was not the question asked.
The question was:
Question: Who Killed Abraham Lincoln?
Short Answer: The Confederate States of America.
Detailed Answer: A stay-behind guerilla unit of the Confederacy, acting on orders from Richmond. A deep-cover cell of infiltrationist irregulars, in rebellion against the Government of the United States, a self-proclaimed sovereign nation and foreign power turned failed-state, just dealt a final crushing military defeat on the battlefield and then currently in the process of abandoning general headquarters in their capital, disappearing off in to the hills and going to ground in the countryside, pledging vengeance and demanding satisfaction for the long insult to their Southern Honour and Dixie pride.
The Third Reich was never defeated, merely displaced and forced to go underground, into exile and into hiding until the fuss died down and the Cold War went hot.
Such as it was with the Southern Slave Power Conspiracy and the legacy of White Supremecist King Cotton ideology.
Whipped, beaten, but unabashed, they fled the field of battle clutching their cashboxes close to their chests and vowed :
