This episode of Walk With History takes place at Grant Hall in Fort McNair, Washington, DC, where the Lincoln Assassination trial was held from May to July of 1865. A military commission found seven of the prisoners guilty of at least one conspiracy charge, and four were sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead. Over 300 witnesses gave their testimonies about all of the accused. The episode provides a glimpse into the history of the trial and the location where it took place.
