History: The assassination of President Lincoln was the first ever successful murder of a president in office. An attempt had been made on President Jackson in 1835, and on Lincoln himself the year before. There is much mystery and supposed occultism surrounding Lincoln's death, including the claim that Lincoln had predicted his demise via prophetic dreams. While there are no concrete sources to confirm, many believe the assassination was part of a larger conspiracy in the United States.
