Videos for the Classroom: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
Today marks the 149th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Maybe outside of the JFK killing, it is probably the most documented single homicide in American history. It has been written about to death–and also in reel after reel of film.
Sometimes it’s difficult to weed out the grain from the chaff.
Attached is a PBS documentary about the assassination that gives a pretty good primer about the basics: the planning, the conspirators, the moment at Ford’s Theatre and the aftermath. Just in case the film doesn’t download (as often happens with YouTube) I’ve downloaded a copy: Please email me if you want one.
