Florida history author Jim Robison will describe Florida’s role in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy. Florida Confederate infantryman Lewis Thornton Powell conspired with John Wilkes Booth and others to assassinate leaders in the United States government. Powell was tasked with killing Secretary of State William H. Seward, who survived the attack. Powell was executed in Washington in 1865 alongside other captured conspirators.
