The Shot That Changed America
In the twilight of the Civil War, as a weary nation began healing its wounds, a single gunshot shattered the peace. On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth entered Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. with murder in his heart. The celebrated 26-year-old actor slipped into President Abraham Lincoln's box during a performance of "Our American Cousin," pressed a small Deringer pistol to the back of Lincoln's head, and fired. In that moment, a night of comedy transformed into national tragedy. Lincoln slumped forward, mortally wounded, while Booth leaped to the stage below, shouting "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Despite breaking his leg in the fall, the assassin escaped into the night, beginning what would become one of history's most dramatic manhunts. Just five days earlier, the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House had effectively ended four years of bloody civil war. Lincoln had begun focusing on reconciliation, calling for "malice toward none; with charity for all." Now, as doctors carried the unconscious president across the street to a boarding house, the fragile peace seemed in jeopardy. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton took command, turning a small back room into an emergency headquarters while Lincoln fought for life in an adjacent bedroom. By morning, the president was dead, and a traumatized nation faced a new crisis: catching his killer.
