Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer and actor, on April 14, 1865. Booth shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., during a performance of "Our American Cousin." After the assassination, he fled the scene and was pursued by authorities, ultimately being killed 12 days later in a standoff at a barn in Virginia.
