All of that changed on April 14, 1865, when Booth shot Lincoln as the president watched the play Our American Cousin. What led Booth to commit this murder, and what effect did this deadly act have on the United States?

Booth may have assassinated Lincoln, but even today the 16th president remains one of the nation's most respected.
