Although the US Civil War was over, for all practical purposes, not all Confederate forces had surrendered before President Lincoln was assassinated on April 15, 1865. He never lived to help the nation in reconstruction or see the 13th amendment to abolish slavery.He was shot on April 14, but lived until the next day.
