The Assassination Attempt
On the night of April 14, 1865, a group of assassins entered the White House. The assassins' plan was to kill Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William Seward.
Lincoln was asleep in his bed when the assassins entered his bedroom. The assassins fired at Lincoln, but Snowball attacked the assassins, giving Lincoln time to escape.
