what theater was the one where lincoln was assasinated?

Answer 1

assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one of the last major events in the American Civil War, took place on Friday, April 14, 1865, at approximately 10:00 P.M. President Abraham Lincoln was shot while attending a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre with his wife and two guests. Lincoln died the following day—April 15, 1865—at 7:22 A.M., in the home of William Petersen.

Lincoln’s assassin, actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth, had also ordered a fellow conspirator, Lewis Powell, to kill William H. Seward (then Secretary of State). Booth hoped to create chaos and overthrow the Federal government by assassinating Lincoln, Seward, and Vice President Andrew Johnson. Although Booth succeeded in killing Lincoln, the larger plot failed. Seward would recover from his wounds and Johnson's would be assassin, George Atzerodt, left Washington, D.C. upon losing his nerve.

Answer 2

Ford's Theatre, Washington. By the way, please note the spelling: Theatre, not Theater.

"Lincoln being at the time on a visit to the army, entered Richmond the day after its surrender. Returning to Washington, he made his last public address on the evening of April 11, devoted mainly to the question of reconstructing loyal government in the conquered States. On the evening of April 14 he attended Ford’s theatre in Washington. While seated with his family and friends absorbed in the play, John Wilkes Booth, an actor, who with others had prepared a plot to assassinate the several heads of government, went into the little corridor leading to the upper stage-box, and secured it against ingress by a wooden bar. Then stealthily entering the box, the discharged a pistol at the head of the president from behind, the ball penetrating the brain. Brandishing a huge knife, with which he wouded Colonel Rathbone who attempted to hold him, the assassin rushed through the stage-box to the front and leaped down upon the stage, escaping behind the scenes and from the rear of the building, but was pursued, and twelve days afterwards shot in a barn where he had concealed himself. The wounded president was borne to a house across the street, where he breathed his last at 7 A.M., April 15, 1865."
