This photo is called men on gallows. the people who are hanging are the ones tried for licolns assassination. I thought when they were given the death penalty that simply shot them, gallows seem too old fashioned for this time. On the platform of the gallows it looks like thsoe were closest to him were watching the alleged die. Did the bodies get to be buried someplace special or did they just put them in a normal spot. Does it really bring that much comfort to you to watch the killer of a close friend be hung, I understand that could relieve some tension towards it but I feel like it would give me a worse image.
