Civil War Story

The day is April 14, 1865 and President Lincoln is going to a show at Ford Theater. The show is “Our American Cousins.” President Lincoln says “that this show is really good” to Mrs. Lincoln, Major Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris. When the show starts President Lincoln went to the bathroom. He sees one of the actors and his name is John Wilkes Booth. John went up to shake his hand and President Lincoln rejected him. So then John got mad at him. Then Lincoln went back to his seat. Then when he saw John in the act. So then President Lincoln says “I saw that person when I was in the restroom.”
Mrs. Lincoln goes “ that is nice dear.”Lincoln thanks her for that. When John gets on stage he glares at Lincoln ever once of in a while. When he gets off stage for the last time, he keeps a gun in his case in the back. As he takes a lots of cautions when he turns every corner he walks past. The first stage that he needed to watch is that him not being seen be the other people who were on stage at the time. He got past that. He got up to the top of the stage in a few feet from the president. He needs to be like right next to him. When he is he aims right for his head. Bang. John just shot him in the back of the head. Right when he did that Major Henry Rathbone sees him aiming at the Lincoln but it was too late. As quick as he can jumped from the booth he was in and broke on off his legs on impact to the ground. He limps to the exit an gets away. The police start to chase after him. He keeps on running.
