Description
Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of Fort Sumter (April 12 - 13 1861) - the bombardment of the fort at the entrance to the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina, that started the American Civil War. South Carolina had demanded that the US Army leave the fort following the secession of several states from the Union and launched an artillery attack when the garrison refused. The Union forces inside eventually surrendered and left after a 34-hour Confederate bombardment. Print circa 1860s by Currier & Ives.

Description
Portrait photo circa 1867 of John Surratt in the uniform of a Papal Zouave. Surratt (1844 - 1916) was suspected of being involved in the plot to assassinate US President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. He fled the country after actor John Wilkes Booth fatally shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre on April 14 and served briefly as a Papal Zouave in the Vatican City but was eventually tracked down, arrested and extradited back to the US in 1867. Surratt was tried in a civilian court, unlike other conspirators (including his mother Mary) who were executed in 1865 after being convicted by a military tribunal. Surratt admitted being part of an earlier plot to kidnap Lincoln but denied being part of the assassination. He was eventually released from custody in 1868 after a jury were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the conspiracy to murder allegation and the statute of limitations was deemed to have expired on lesser charges.

Description
Conspirator David Herold in irons at the Washington Navy Yard in April 1865 following the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Herold (1842 - 1865) was one of a number of people involved in the plot to simultaneously kill Lincoln and other Union leaders on the night of April 14. While John Wilkes Booth succeeded in fatally shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Herold led fellow conspirator Lewis Powell to the home of Secretary of State William H Seward. Powell forced his way into Seward's bedroom, where he was recovering from a carriage accident, and repeatedly stabbed him but Seward survived the attack. Herold, who was outside, fled after hearing the commotion and later met up with Booth, remaining with him until the pair were cornered in a barn in Virginia. Booth was shot dead but Herold surrendered and was subsequently tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. He was hanged on July 7 with fellow convicted conspirators Powell, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt. Photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 - 1882).

Conspirator George Atzerodt in irons at the Washington Navy Yard in April 1865 following the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Atzerodt (1835 - 1865) was one of a number of people involved in the plot to simultaneously kill Lincoln and other Union leaders on the night of April 14. While John Wilkes Booth succeeded in fatally shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Atzerodt was supposed to murder Vice President Andrew Johnson at a hotel in Washington DC where he was staying. Atzerodt lost his nerve and apparently got drunk instead but was subsequently arrested, tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. He was hanged on July 7 with fellow convicted conspirators Lewis Powell, David Herold and Mary Surratt. Photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 - 1882).

Description
Conspirator Lewis Powell in irons on board the USS Saugus at the Washington Navy Yard in April 1865 following the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Powell (1844 - 1865), also known as Lewis Payne or Lewis Paine, was one of a number of people involved in the plot to simultaneously kill Lincoln and other Union leaders on the night of April 14. While John Wilkes Booth succeeded in fatally shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Powell failed in a bid to murder Secretary of State William H Seward at Seward's home. Powell forced his way into Seward's bedroom, where he was recovering from a carriage accident, and repeatedly stabbed him but Seward survived the attack. Powell, a former Confederate soldier, fled the scene but was subsequently captured, tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. He was hanged on July 7 with fellow convicted conspirators David Herold, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt. Photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 - 1882).

Description
Portrait photo circa 1860s of Edmund Ruffin - the person credited with firing the first shot of the American Civil War. Ruffin (1794 - 1865) was a farmer, slaveholder and political activist from Virginia who was an ardent supporter of the Confederacy. Opponents described him as one of the Fire-Eaters - the name given to extremist pro-slavery politicians from the South who urged southern states to form a new nation - and he is said to have fired the first shot of the war at the Battle of Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12 1861. Ruffin, who is also remembered for his contributions to agricultural science, wrapped himself in a Confederate flag and committed suicide on June 17 1865 when it was clear the Southern states had lost the war.
