The Day Lincoln Was Shot

Lincoln was shot just three days after the Civil War ended by John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln was watching a play called My American Cousin, he had no guard outside of his box so Booth walked right in, took out his pistol, and fired. The bullet pierced Lincoln's brian. Booth was also armed with a knife so when Lincoln's friend (also in the box) jumped at Booth he just stabed right through his hand. When he jumped out of the box onto the stage he sprained his ankle. It was 12 days before union calvery caught Booth. He was shot in the left side of the neck and died a couple of hours later. For the south he was a hero but for the north he will be remembered  as the "Man Who Killed Lincoln".
