John Wilkes Booth shot and killed President Lincoln shortly after the Civil War ended.NEW RESPONDENT.Only to point out that Lincoln was assassinated shortly before the Civil War ended.
yes, technically the Civil War ended on May 10,1865, the day Confederate president Jefferson Davis was captured. On that day Andrew Johnson declared the war officially over. So,yes, he was assassinated before the civil war ended.
The same week that Gen. Lee surrendered, Pres. Lincoln was killed.
The assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one of the last major events in the American Civil War, took place on Good Friday, April 14, 1865.
President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth
John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in the head on April 14, 1865 during a play at Fords Theater in Washington. The play was a comedy and when the crowd was laughing Booth shoot the pistol. LIncoln died the next morning in a house across the street. Booth hoped that the assassination would inspire the South to keep fighting even though Lee had surrendered his army the week before. Booth was part of a plot to also kill Vice-President Johnson and Secretary of State Seward.
Abraham Lincoln was President from March 1861 to April 1865. He was reelected in November 1864 and should have been in office until March 1869, but, he was shot by John W. Booth a week after the Civil War ended (Gen. Lee's surrender to Gen. Grant).
yes it is true, because i read a book about dreams. When Lincoln was dreaming he was in this room where everybody was crowding around something. So when he went over there he asked one of the body guards what happened and who died. The body guard said the president. One week later he got assassinated .Wow i know .
No the war ended on April 9 and Lincoln died on April 15 -correction. Technically the Civil War ended on May 10,1865, the day Confederate president Jefferson Davis was captured. On that day Andrew Johnson (the new president after Abraham Lincoln) declared the war officially over.
I know the date was April 14 1865 less than a week after the civil war ended....i am not sure of his age
They found John Wilkes Booth about a week after he killed Abraham Lincoln.
