Lincoln did not feel that anyone would ever want to kill him.  Lincoln was shot on April

Wilkes Booth.  Booth had been planning this conspiracy for a long time.  This
assassination was one of many attempted ones by Booth and his fellow conspirators.

     Booth had carved a hole in Lincoln’s box so that he could observe him during the
play.  Booth jumped into the box and shot Lincoln in the head with a derringer.  Lincoln

morning.  Booth got away on a waiting horse outside.  He was chased by the calvary and
was found in a barn.  He was captured by setting the barn on fire and flushing him out.
