Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of America during one of the most difficult times in American history. He was a general for the Union during the American Civil War and late into the war was officially inducted into the American Brotherhood of Assassins, not as an actual assassin, but as an informant and political leader. However, before he could do much for them, he was assassinated in 1865 at Ford's Theater in Washington DC by Confederate sympathizer and Templar agent John Wilkes Booth.
