John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, meticulously planned the assassination to coincide with the end of a performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. He timed his entry into the presidential box for the moment when loud laughter from the audience would mask the sound of his gunshot. Booth's familiarity with the play and its pacing allowed him to choose a moment of distraction, ensuring he had the best chance of success and escape after the act.
