Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln was shot during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theatre on April 14 by James Wilkes Booth, an actor that frequently acted in that same theatre and that supported the Confederate States, when Booth learned that Lincoln was going to attend the play he organized a plan to murder President Lincoln, Vice-president Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward at the same time but the only attack that came through was the one on President Lincoln, who Booth himself did.
