The assassin was an actor who shot Mr. Lincoln when he was sitting in a box at the theater.  The play that night was called, "Our American Cousin."  After the assassin shot Mr. Lincoln, he jumped to the stage, breaking his leg.  He escaped and was ferreted away by friends who took him to Dr. Mudd.  Dr. Mudd set his leg and was later tried for treason.

Andrew Johnson was a Democrat, the congress was mostly Republican and the two did not get along well at all.\n\nLincoln (before he was shot) planned on letting the south back into the Union without too much trouble.  He wanted to get the country back to normal quickly and put the civil was behind them.  After Lincolns assasination, Johnson tried to carry on Lincoln's plan (presidential reconstruction).\n\nHowever, the congress had a different idea.  They wanted to make the south PAY for what they had done.  They wanted revenge.  Congress wanted to have control over how the south was readmitted to the union, not the president.\n\nWhen push came to shuv, congress won out.  Andrew Johnson was the first president (out of only two in US history) to be impeached.  However, he was not removed from office, he came only a few votes shy.  He was not a very popular president.\n\nCongress took over the task of reconstruction, imposing hash punishments and set lots of requirements for the south.  Congress sent down troups into the south and installed a proUnion government.  This was known as radical reconstruction.

"The Man" murdered both of them.\nMaybe Suge Knight had a little something to do with it...

No no no.  They have to get out of prison in order to prove Lincoln was framed.  Goverment conspiracies and such.  What exactly is "The Company" that the vice president is involved in.  And why did they fake her brother's death?  And why was it specifically Linc they wanted out of the way?  And of course, they'll be looking for everybody after they escape.  Sort of a Fugitive type thing.  There's plenty of intrigue to keep this show around for awhile and let us enjoy our favorite convict brothers.

It was an accident...or foul play it was never determined.  They were doing a stunt with guns and they though they were unloaded, no bullets were ever added and the other actor pulled the trigger and instead of nothing (like what was supposed to happen) a bullet hit Brandon and he died.  I believe he was killed instantly.

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.\n \n\nAfter all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists.\n\nTwo men and a woman.\n\nFor the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.\n\n"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.  Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.\n\nKill Her!"  \n\nThe man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife."  The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job.  Take your wife and go home."\n\nThe second man was given the same instructions.\n\nHe took the gun and went into the room.  All was quiet for about 5 minutes.  The man came out with tears in his eyes,  "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."\n\nThe agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nFinally, it was the woman's turn.\n\nShe was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.  She took the gun and went into the room.  Shots were heard, one after another.  They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.\n\nAfter a few minutes, all was quiet.  The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.  She wiped the sweat from her brow. \n\n"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

I don't remember his name but i recall hearing about a guy in the army in the vietnam era who didn't fight because the army kept him in America because he was such a good shooter it made good PR for the army. I remember being told that he could toss asprin in the air and shoot it with a .22.

no, Madan Lal Dhingra, a keen follower and friend of Savarkar, assassinated British MP Sir Curzon Wylie and it was known atht Savarkar supported this action. By jailing him he could not work as effectively and be a warning to others that to associate with assassins means you go to jail for ever. To say he lay a trap for the British gives far too much importance to at the time a minor player in the confused world of Indian politics

The level of intent and planning behind the act.\n\nExample:  A man hates his wife. He goes out and buys rat poison, fixes her a cup of coffee and puts the poison in it and makes sure she drinks it, causing her death.  First-degree murder.\n\nA man catches his wife in bed with another man. He grabs his gun out of the dresser and shoots them both in the heat of the moment.  Second-degree murder, since he hadn't planned on killing people, but the circumstances contributed to the killing.

the bit where the hero gets killed.

No, he ate a shotgun. Why would anyone have wanted to murder him, except to stop the noise? :)

Don't listen to these people...Lincoln was flaming.  We're talking Brokeback gay here.  It's rumored he wrote showtunes while on the toilet and had a beauty salon installed off of the Oval Office.

Well Tom knew that no matter what he will still be seen as guilty(even though he is completely innocent) because he is black so he tried to take his chances to escape.\n\n´´Suddenly Atticus comes inside and requests Aunt Alexandra's presence in the kitchen: he gives her the news that Tom tried to escape from the prison and was shot to death by the prison guards. They tried to tell him to stop and fired warning shots, but he would not listen and kept running. Atticus needs Calpurnia to go with him to Tom's wife to give the news.´´

I know exactly who you are talking about..the guy was living near my home town.  He never really got shot, He faked it all because enough people were calling him out on his hatred and disregard for our military's members' lives.  Unfortunately, I no longer have that link because it disgusted me so much.
