John Wilkes Booth actually pulled the trigger.

I'm sure you've seen it already, but I'll repeat it:
these people, mostly conservative military, were
sentenced for plotting the death of Abraham Lincoln....
A well know and well recorded and studied conspiracy.
A number of others were released or there was
insufficient evidence to link them directly to the crime.


        Samuel Arnold (sentenced to life)
        George Atzerodt (sentenced to hang)
        David Herold (sentenced to hang)
        Dr. Samuel Mudd (sentenced to life)
        Michael O'Laughlen (sentenced to life)
        Lewis Paine (sentenced to hang)
        Edman Spangler (sentenced to 6 years)
        John Surratt (escaped to Canada)
        Mary Surratt (sentenced to hang)









            "No form of government, once in power, can be trusted to limit
            its own ambition, to extend freedom and to wither away. This
            means that it is up to the citizenry, those outside of power,
to
            engage in permanent combat with the state, short of violent,
            escalatory revolution, but beyond the gentility of the
ballot-box,
            to insure justice, freedom and well being."
