17:06Now PlayingIt is January 30th, and 188 years ago today the nation was shocked by the first known assassination attempt on a sitting president of the United States. The attempt by Richard Lawrence on the life of President Andrew Jackson was, in itself, high drama, and his trial one of great attention.
