<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 517028, member: 2486&quot;]Troodon....I think you have Stanton and Seward mixed up!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;You are pretty close but it was actually &quot;Sec of State Seward&quot; that had the carriage accident and was bed ridden with a broken jaw and arm. His family was involved as well and pretty sure the daughter was mangled in the attack (by Paine) as well as the brother but no one was killed in the attack. Paine could not deliver the fatal blow due the metal cage/harness around Seward at the time. The were no lights on candel light or gas lamps which hindered the muder plot as well.</p><p>Stanton actually took over as acting President and never left Lincolns side, thus setting up a command post from the room in which Lincolon was carried to and died in.</p><p>Stanton refused to provide Lincoln with his body huard of choice, Thomas Eckert and has since prompted research to wether or not he was involved in the conspiracy.</p><p>You are correct about Andrew Johnson, as the would be attacker (Atzerodt) did not follow through with the plan at the Kirkwood house where Jonson was staying.</p><p><br /></p><p>The assination plot was include Lincoln, Johnson and Seward carried out by Booth, Piane,Herod and Atzerodt. Herod was the one who never showed up after it was put into motion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stanton mounted the Largest Manhunt is US&nbsp; History at the&nbsp; time and as well all know 12 days later Booth was cornered at Garetts Farm and shot once through the neck. He was pulled from the burning barn and drug over to a large tree where he died watching thesun rise.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
