Booth shoots President Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln and wife Mary Todd Lincoln were going to attend Laura Keene's performance in Our American Cousin. The Lincolns were under much stress, put on them by both the war and the death of their son in 1862. Also, President Lincoln had been made nervous due to dreams which concerned his own death. Contrary to the information Booth read in the newspaper, General and Mrs. Grant had declined the invitation to see the play with the Lincolns. Several other people were invited to join them, until finally Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris (daughter of Senator Ira Harris) accepted the invitation.
The President and First Lady arrived at Ford's Theatre after the play began, Lincoln had been delayed at the White House by Missouri Senator John B. Henderson who successfully appealed for a pardon for George S.E. Vaughn who had thrice been convicted of espionage for the Confederates and was sentenced to die. It was Lincoln's last official act as President. The couple was led to the presidential box, where Lincoln was seated in a rocking chair on the left-hand side. The show was briefly paused to acknowledge the presence of the President and First Lady, who were applauded by the audience.
At about 9:00 p.m., Booth arrived at the back door of Ford's Theatre, where he handed the reins of his horse over to a stagehand named Edman Spangler. Spangler was busy, so he asked Joseph Burroughs, known as "Peanuts," for the snacks he once sold in the theater, to hold the horse. As an actor at Ford's Theatre, Booth was well known there and he knew his way around. He entered a narrow hallway between Lincoln's box and the theatre's balcony, and barricaded the door. At that point, Mrs. Lincoln whispered to her husband, who was holding her hand, "What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so?" The president replied, "She won't think anything about it." Those were the last words ever spoken by Abraham Lincoln. It was now a little after 10 p.m.
Booth knew the play, and waited for the right moment, one where actor Harry Hawk would be on stage alone, where there would be laughter to muffle the sound of a gunshot.
Booth shot the president in the back of the head. Lincoln slumped over in his rocking chair, unconscious.

Lincoln arrived late because


he was with his son.
he was with his daughter Clara.
he had a meeting with a Missouri Senator.
he had a meeting with Edman Spangler.
he was afraid of leaving his house since he dreamed about his own death.
