They provided bodyguards if he wanted them.
But Lincoln did not think he was in danger of assassination - despite his vivid dream a few days earlier that clearly foresaw it.
On the fateful evening at the theatre, he thought US Grant was a target, and arranged a bodyguard. When Grant cried off, Lincoln sent the bodyguard home. His only protection then was the theatre policeman, who had gone for drink at the moment when the deed was done.
A popular myth is that he did have a bodyguard in the Presidential box, but the performance was so riveting (which it was) that he was watching the stage when he should have been watching the door.

Did Lincoln have any security at ford's theater?
He had detailed a bodyguard to protect Grant, whom he regarded as an assassination target. When the Grants cried-off, Lincoln reckoned he himself didn't need a guard. There was one theatre policeman, who had gone off for a drink. There is a popular version that says Lincoln did have a bodyguard in the Presidential Box, but the show was so riveting that he was watching the stage when he should have been watching the door. This is very believable, but unfortunately there is no truth in this colourful anecdote.
