On April 26, 1865, John Wilkes Booth and his accomplice David Herald were in Virginia, and made their way into Port Royal, Virginia. The Union Calvary had followed leads that two men fitting Booth and Herald's description were seen near the Rappahannock River, in Port Royal, Virginia. At approximately 2am, the Calvary eventually made their way to a tobacco farm owned by a Richard Garrett. Herald and Booth were sleeping in the farmer's barn. A Lieutenant detective from the Calvary yelled out to the two to surrender. After a few moments, Booth said he'd never surrender, then a few minutes later, Booth yelled out "Oh, Captain, there's a man in here who wants to surrender awful bad.", and Herald's voice then could be heard saying that he wanted to surrender. Herald came out slowly, and was slammed to the ground by the Calvary, and subsequently tied to a tree.
Still Booth would not come out. Using straw and brush, the cavalry set the barn on fire. Booth was visible to the soldiers because the barn was full of cracks and knotholes.
Sergeant Boston Corbett fired at Booth, hitting him in the neck. Booth was not dead but had been paralyzed. He was then dragged from the burning barn, and the Calvary moved Booth a couple of times, finally placing him on the porch of the farmer's house. Booth died at about 7am, on the same morning, April 26, 1865.

Booth was a supporter of the south and didn't believe what Lincoln was doing was civil. He organized a plan to take out three major leaders of the union including Lincoln. Why at Ford's Theatre?
