What play was abraham lincoln watching?
Abraham Lincoln was assasinated on April 14,1865 while he attended the play “Our American Cousin” with his wife and guests at the Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, he had no bodyguard with him at time. President Lincoln was shot at point blank range in the back of the head by the actor, John Wilkes Booth. He died the following day, which was a very sad day in US history and politics.
