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.

An important accomplishment of the Articles of Confederation was that it
LenKa [72]

An important accomplishment of the Articles of Confederation was that it created fair policies for settling lands west of the Appalachian Mountains.

A confederation (also known as a confederation or league) is an association of sovereign groups or states united for joint action.[1] Confederations of states, usually created by treaty, tend to be formed to deal with critical issues such as defense, foreign relations, internal trade, or currency, with the central government required to provide support to all its members. Confederalism represents the main form of intergovernmental, which is defined as any form of interaction around states that takes place on the basis of sovereign independence or government.

The European Alliance and the United Nations ("UN") are examples of a confederation, while the United States is a federation. Although the US as a whole may participate in confederations such as the United Nations, it maintains a central government with some authority over the various states.

The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777. This document served as the first United States Constitution. It was in effect from March 1, 1781, until 1789, when the current constitution came into force.
