5 hours
On the day of the assassination, Booth was working with others to kidnap Lincoln. At 1 pm, Booth was to meet with the kidnappers at a tavern to finalize the plan. Booth was detained; he didn't arrive until almost 5 p.m. He then discovered that half of his men got themselves drunk while waiting. The kidnapping plan had to be called off. Shortly after 5 pm, Booth was talked into killing Lincoln, Johnson, and Seward. At 8 pm, Booth met with three other men to plan the killings. Booth was the only one to succeed. Lincoln was shot at 10:15 p.m.
