A lot of effort has been expended to defend Powell's motives and sympathize with his circumstances. And the underlying current is that he was a good and honest southern gentleman that was doing his duty and was genuinely sorry for his actions after the fact and that history has given him a bad rap by not accounting for what a good guy he was prior to or after his crime. Powell was responsible for entering Sewards house and viciously attacking every defenseless civilian that confronted him inside on his way to murder Seward. |
