Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth as he watched the play Our American Cousin. Booth shot him from behind and escaped over the balcony to the stage. In his fall on the stage he broke his leg because his spur got caught on the bunting on the balcony. Booth thought by killing Lincoln he could restart the civil war that ended a few days before Lincoln's death. He was wrong and the entire country was upset over the death. Lincoln's body was taken by train to Springfield Illinois to be buried. People stood for hours to view his body and pay respects to him.
