Abraham Lincoln - February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865

There was a clue on Jeapordy last Monday about events of the day, April 9th. It was Lee's surrender to Grant, the end of the American Civil War. That was Monday. It's Sunday. That's how long Abraham Lincoln lived after the end of the war.

Last night, 142 years ago, the President of the United States attended a play with his wife. 142 years ago today he died.
