Lincoln Assassinated

Dreadful news appeared in today's paper. On the headline appeared in big words "Lincoln assassinated". How could this happen, how on Earth could this happen? John Wilkes Booth that confederate supporter that's who! The slim ball of an actor, he is murdered our dear president. Five days after the end of the Civil War Booth as well as other confederate supports tried to find out a way to kill President Lincoln. The original plan was to kidnapped the president, but it was best decided to kill him instead to see if the south would rise again. To make matters worse I saw Booth that night just before he killed the president! I was at the local tavern, a few blocks away from Fords Theatre. Anyway I received word that the president was attending to one of the plays that was playing at the theatre. As relaxed myself at the bar I saw Booth walking out of one of the private rooms. I simply remarked, "You not acting tonight Boothy my boy!" In response he turned to me and gave me a disgusted look. I knew Booth for a long time and that night he looked different. I looked restless, jittery, and abrasive. If only I knew what he was going to do, I could have stopped him. After he looked at me he place his hat on his head a rode off into the night. That was the last that I seen of him.

That's the problem with today's society. Military force doesn't solve anything! Actually I would commence military force the last result to solve any negotiation. Every person should negotiate first before taking action. Booth never did dicussed the situation with President Lincoln. Booth first did what he thought was right, by killing the president to solve of what he thought was right. I don't know what Booth was thinking, but becasue of his actions of killing the president by "military force" only made America stronger. Of coarse America could have used President Lincoln for rebuilding the south, but in the end Booth didn't want to take that chance.
