Assassination

Assassintion is the act of killing someone silently, sneakily, and hopefuly undetected. This usually happens to political figures. I will now tell you about three different famous Assassinations.

1. March 15, 44 B.C.  Julius Caesar,
Julius walked into the Senate building when a group of Senators confronted him. Then one showed him a petition to return his exiled brother to Rome. When Caesar waved him him away, the man ripped up his tunic and stabbed him. Then all the senators started stabbing him. In all there were 23 stab wounds on him.  It is said that Caesar said "You to Brutus?" when he saw his friend Brutus among the crowd.

2.April 16, 1865. Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham was at the theater when a man snuck up behind him and shot him. The man then jumped up onto the stage and said," The South is avenged!" Then he ran. Interestingly, Lincoln had a dream the night before showing him that he would die if he went to the theater the next day.

3. 12:30 PM, November 22, 1963. JFK.
As John and his wife were riding in a limo in a parade in Texas, he was sniped by Lee Oswald. There were four shots. Two hit Presidnet Kennedy, another hit the Governor of Texas who was riding with them.  The President was hit in the back of his head. Then the limo sped to the hospital.

These are three assassinations that had an impact on history. I hope you liked to read about them Goodbye!
