The Assassination Of John Wayne Gacy

The United States would not be the same today if Abraham Lincoln was never assassinated on the unfortunate night of April 14, 1865. His killer, John Wilkes Booth, had a strong resent for the Union that subsequently caused a dramatic shift in history. This hatred was caused by many factors, such as his background and where he grew up, his lust for power and fame, and his mental illness. John Wilkes Booth, a master assassinator and conspirator, hoped to strengthen the confederacy by killing Abraham Lincoln. However, this murder created an even stronger opposition to the South than ever before.

On the 20th of January 1961, the United States of America elected their 35th President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. However, two years later, he was assassinated. The assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested 70 minutes after the assassination. There have been numerous debates over the last 55 years regarding this incident. Many people claim there is a conspiracy behind the case, allowing various conspiracy theories to emerge over the years. One specific theory is about how the mafia was involved with JFK’s assassination.

On April 14, 1865 at twelve o’ clock midnight John Wilkes Booth lay in his bed at the National Hotel. Three days earlier he had attended a speech given by President Abraham Lincoln at the White House. The civil war had commenced just two days earlier and the crowd was jubilant. When Lincoln concluded his speech with the the acknowledgment of black suffrage, Booth became incensed and declared that “Now by God, I’ll put him through, that will be the last speech he makes”. Booth was a staunch Confederate sympathizer and he had previously plotted a kidnapping involving the president in exchange for POWS between the northern and southern states. With that plan failed, he became desperate in figuring a way to put the power back in the Confederacy. Along with three other conspirators Booth realized exactly what needed to be done and that night at Ford’s Theatre, while a performance of the play “Our American Cousin” was appearing, Booth slipped into the Presidential Box seats where Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd were seated and shot him. Booth jumped onto the stage below and fled the scene among the chaos. As Lincoln lay dying a young surgeon named Charles Leale and other doctors in the audience tended to Lincoln and decided that traveling to the White house was out of the question, so carrying him out of the theatre on a stretcher, Lincoln was taken to the Petersen Boarding House

The American Civil War endured four long and bloody years, from 1861-1865. Many effects of the Civil War were permanent changes for America’s history from the battle between the bluecoats and the grey. Following reconstruction and the succession of a new president after Lincoln’s death, differences of the North and South remained from 1866 on into the 1900’s. Whether it being social, economic, or political discrepancies, the growth of the nation remained divided and suffered different complications in between.

Happy Birthday to one of the important visionaries of all time, the honorable Malcolm X.

November 22 1963, Dallas Texas, it was a like a scene from a movie, outside the skies were so blue that you got lost in wondering how far out it went until a cloud would blow past and remind you that in all the blue nothingness there was something more to it.
