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.
