Answer 1

President Lincoln attended a play at Ford's Theatre on the evening of April 14, 1865, less than a week after General Lee's forces surrendered. During the performance, John Wilkes Booth, a well-known actor and passionate supporter of the Confederacy, assassinated the president. Booth leaped onto the stage after slashing at one of the president's guests with a knife. Despite the audience initially thinking Booth's actions were part of the play, they soon realized the president was hurt when Mary Lincoln screamed. Two doctors carried Lincoln across the street for medical treatment, but he died the next morning. Booth was tracked to Virginia and killed on April 26.
