Bus 8: Ford's Theater

   At Ford's Theater we learned that John Wilkes Booth didn't kill Lincoln on impulses. He originally had a plan with other accomplices to kidnap Lincoln. However, Lincoln didn't show up to the spot of the kidnap. The men then planned the assassination at the theater. Other executives were supposed to die that night: the Vice President and the Secretary of State. Those assassinations obviously failed.
