Why was Abraham Lincoln Shot? |

Glad you asked...
Abraham Lincoln was shot because his death (along with the other two leaders of the Union government) was thought to paralyze the Union and so enable the Confederates to advance.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. Booth was on the Confederate side and planned to kill Lincoln and others because he disagreed with their political stances. You can find more information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassinati...
