There are some historical events that are so important, so influential, that most of us know them like the back of our hand.

In the United States, one of those events is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Growing up, everyone learns that in 1865, President

Lincoln was shot and killed while watching a play in Washington, D.C. It was a last-ditch attempt by his assassin John Wilkes Booth to save the Confederacy.

But what if I told you that was only the first part of his plan?

Because while many of us think Booth's only goal that night was to kill Abraham Lincoln,

the truth is he was only one of many targets

that night. In reality, Booth didn't just want to destroy Lincoln. He wanted to destroy everything

the president was fighting for. And to do that, Booth planned to put a bullet through the union itself.

People's lives are like stories with a beginning, a middle, and an end,

but sometimes the final chapter comes far too soon,

and we don't always get to know the real ending.

I'm Carter Roy, and this is Murder True Crime Stories,

a Crimehouse original.
