The sixteenth US President Abraham Lincoln went down in history as a man who sacrificed himself in the name of the reunification of the country and the liberation of the black population from slavery. Just a few days after the end of the Civil War, on April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot in the head with a pocket pistol by Southerner John Booth at the Ford Theatre. All this happened during the third act of Tom Taylor’s play “My American Cousin”: Lincoln and his wife were in the presidential box on the balcony, where Booth, the famous actor at that time, entered. Having fired a shot, he managed to escape, but after a ten-day stay on the run, he was overtaken and killed during detention. By the way, the Ford Theater operates today both as a venue for musicals and performances unknown to the general public, and as a museum in memory of Lincoln, where you can learn about his life and death. Theater employees can show the very place where the murder took place.
