Lincoln assassination conspirators: Grisly last moments of Civil War-era prisoners convicted in conspiring to kill president. By Beth Stebner Published: 03:44 GMT, 21 June 2012 | Updated: 05:47 GMT, 21 June 2012 While actor John Wilkes Booth succeeded in his deranged mission of assassinating President Abraham Lincoln near the end of the Civil War, several other conspirators were not so successful – and were hanged because of it.

On July 7, 1865, four conspirators – Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, and Mary Surratt – were hanged by the neck at Fort McNair in Washington D.C. Their deaths were a culmination of sorts of a nation ravaged by war, bitter conflict, and the death of the nation’s commander-in-chief, the Great Emancipator. Walk of the damned: The condemned Lincoln conspirators can be seen on the scaffold at Fort McNair in Washington with officers on July 7, 1865, following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln Long drop and sudden stop: The bodies of the four conspirators were hanged for around 25 minutes before being cut down.

Same camera, different century: Stunning pictures that retrace the steps of ground-breaking Civil War photographer, 150 years later. By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 01:36 GMT, 19 September 2012 | Updated: 19:34 GMT, 19 September 2012 To mark the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam - the bloodiest single day in American military history - photographer Todd Harrington has retraced the steps of ground-breaking Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner. Photographic history changed forever at Antietam, as Gardner did something no one had done before and turned the lens on the grim reality of war, showing dead soldiers awaiting burial. Present-day photographer Harrington was set a brief to capture the same scenes for the Sesquicentennial, minus the bodies of fallen soldiers, to document how the landscapes have changed.

Then: Following the battle of Antietam in Maryland, on September 17, 1862, Confederate dead lay by a fence on Hagerstown road Now: One hundred and fifty years after the gunfire ceased, sorghum lines what is now a paved road The process, which uses two lenses, creates two side-by-side images.
