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.
