A historical scene depicting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is seated in a chair with a woman beside him, both facing a stage where a performance is taking place. Another man and woman are seated nearby. A man dressed in black, holding a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, is approaching from the left, aiming the pistol at Lincoln. The room is richly decorated with patterned wallpaper, a red carpet, and large lace curtains framing two American flags. The setting appears to be a theater box.

How did the South feel about Lincoln assassination?
