Killing Lincoln The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever At Lincoln’s second inaugural on Saturday, March 4, 1865, the surroundings were hectic as a large crowd stood out in heavy rain, and Vice President Andrew Johnson embarrassed all with a “drunken, twenty-minute ramble.” Lincoln’s genuine plea for reunification was an inspirational relief.

As late as the 1890, future President Theodore Roosevelt was declaring that in nine out of ten cases, the “only good Indian was a dead Indian.” All four of the individuals mentioned not only served as President of the United States, but three of them are celebrated with their likenesses carved into the Mt. Rushmore National Monument. That we describe the practitioners of such brutality as ‘heroes’ can only be described as shameful.
The Rattlesnake as a Symbol of America 1751 Benjamin Franklin is famous for his sense of humor.
