William Seward and Andrew Johnson

Answered by pret7261 | 2024-06-11

The two other government officials chosen for assassination when Lincoln was killed were William Seward, who was attacked but survived, and Andrew Johnson, who was targeted but not harmed. This is part of a broader conspiracy intended to destabilize the U.S. government after Lincoln's assassination. Ultimately, Lincoln died from his injuries, while Seward recovered, and Johnson succeeded Lincoln as president.
