John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Confederate sympathizer, assassinated President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. The assassination took place at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., during a performance of the play "Our American Cousin." Booth shot Lincoln in the back of the head while the President was seated in a private box. Following the shooting, Booth leaped onto the stage and escaped, leading authorities on a 12-day manhunt before he was eventually captured and killed. Lincoln succumbed to his injuries the following day, marking the first assassination of a U.S. president and profoundly impacting the nation's course during the Reconstruction era.
