Lewis Powell was born in Alabama in 1884. His father was a Baptist minister. He was the youngest of eight children. The family m

oved to Georgia when Lewis was just three years old. In Georgia all eight children were educated by their father, who then became the school master. When Lewis was a teenager the family moved to Florida.
During the Civil War, Lewis enlisted and served in the Confederate Army. In 1862 he was hospitalized for an unknown sickness. He continued to fight many battles unharmed prior to being injured in the wrist at the Battle of Gettysburg. In July of 1863 he was captured and sent to a Prisoner of War (POW) hospital. He escaped the hospital, and eventually traveled to Baltimore, Maryland, where he became involved with the Confederate Secret Service, the Confederacy's spy agency.

In April of 1865, Lewis met with John Wilkes Booth to conspire and plot the assassination of Lincoln and other Union leaders. Lewis was charged with the assassination of Secretary of State William H. Seward. Another friend of Lewis's was to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Booth was responsible for assassinating President Lincoln himself.

The government encouraged Texas and European settlers to move to Texas where they would provide money and land for the settlers.

iv) The law stated that slaves could no longer be brought to Mexico which would hurt the Anglo-Texan community on development cotton production industry.
