Answer:

Just a few months after his reelection and his second inauguration, and a few days after the end of the Civil War, president Abraham Lincoln was assasinated. John Wilkes Booth, a famous actor and a fanatic who supported slavery and the Confederacy, shot him mortally in the evening of April 14, 1865, at Ford´s Theater in Washington D.C. This magnicide occurred just five days after the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee , commander-in-chief of the Confederate armies.
