@wgalnews8: Lewis Powell survived the carnage of Gettysburg, only to drift into an even darker chapter after crossing paths with John Wilkes Booth. On the same night Lincoln was struck down, Powell arrived at Secretary of State William H. Seward’s home and launched a savage knife attack. Seward survived the night. Powell’s fate was sealed soon after, ending on the gallows alongside fellow conspirators in one of the most chilling episodes in American history. #history, #civilwar, #america250 #fyp
