IRB Intro Post #1

During the first quarter of school, I will be reading Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. I have a particular interest in reading this book due to my curiosity in politics and history, and I also recently began researching Andrew Johnson, who was Vice President with Lincoln and later became president following Lincoln’s assassination. I understand that John Wilkes Booth is the murderer of Lincoln, but I do not currently know the specific policies that he disagreed with. I know that this will be an emotional description of the events that took place leading up to and after Lincoln’s assassination, and I hope to gain more knowledge about one of America’s most famous presidents.
