12. Lincoln’s Funeral
Another photo that has to do with President Lincoln, but this one has to do with his funeral. He was assassinated six days after the end of the civil war, April 15th, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. Following his death was three weeks of funeral processions mourning the loss of the president and his burial took place in Springfield, Illinois, his hometown, but the photograph shown above was taken on April 19th, in Washington DC.
