They were involved in a terrible crime that ruined many lives. They had time to think about what they were doing, and they all could have stopped it. Youth is not an excuse. While their death's may have been cruel and tragic, so was the result of their actions .

Those were certainly terrible times. Men did a lot of unthinkable things. William Henry Seward was the face of abolitionism in the government, and thought by JWB to be next in line behind Johnson to the Presidency. For desperate men who had given everything for their country and just lost it all and facing a very uncertain future, anything was possible. Passions were high, and hundred of thousand of lives were lost. The 21st Century man has a hard time understanding these brutal acts, until you examine life in the war torn middle east.
