Today, April 15th, is the 160th anniversary of the death of President Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC on April 14th, and succumbed to the assassins bullet at 7:22 am on April 15th, 1865.

At the time of his death, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton remarked either "He now belongs to the ages" or "He now belongs to the angels."

Either way, Lincoln's death rocked the nation and plunged it into mourning, and changed forever the course of American history.

Today, we remember the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, who led the country through the crucible of Civil War, and gave his life to preserve the Union he so dearly cherished.

On April 9th, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, marking the beginning of the end of the American Civil War.

For President Abraham Lincoln, Lee's surrender was a moment of personal and national significance. It validated his leadership, his vision of a united nation, and his unwavering commitment to ending slavery. Although the war wasn't officially over, the surrender brought a glimmer of hope for healing and reconciliation in a country torn apart by years of conflict.
