Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was shot by John Wilkes Booth in Washington, D.C. while watching the play Our American Cousin.

Booth fought in the Confederacy during the Civil War and wanted to "get back" at Lincoln for freeing African Americans and winning the Civil War.

President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14th, 1865 while watching the play "Our American Cousin." Booth waited until what he thought was the funniest line of the play, "You sock-dologizing old man-trap," hoping that applause and laughter would disguise the sound of the shot. He wasn't pronounced dead, however, until April 15th at 7:22 a.m.
