Several failed attempts to harm or kill President Abraham Lincoln occurred before his assassination in 1865. One notable plot involved a conspiracy in 1863, where a group of conspirators planned to kidnap him and hold him for ransom, but the plan fell apart. Another attempt took place in 1864 when John Wilkes Booth, who later successfully assassinated Lincoln, tried to shoot him during a public appearance but missed. These incidents highlight the significant threats Lincoln faced during his presidency, stemming from deep divisions in the country.
