Linclon's Assassination

On Friday, April 14, 1865, at approximately 10:00 P.M. President Abraham Lincon was shot by was shot while attending a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theater with his wife and two guests. Lincoln died the following day April 15 1865 7:22 A.M., in the Hospital. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by actor and Confederate enimy John Wilkes Booth, had also ordered a fellow colige, Lewis Powell, to kill William H. Seward who was the Secratery of state at the time.
The only reason that i can think John Wilkes Booth would assassinate pressdent Lincon is because he's for slavery or he just didn't like him. I think is was a stupid thing to do, because slaves were still became free anyways.
