      President Lincoln didn’t die instantly. He died nine hours later. I’m not American, so that may be commonly taught to kids in the USA - but I remember being surprised by this when I learned about it as an adult.

      The first woman to be executed by the US federal government was executed as a result of Lincoln’s assassination. Her name was Mary Surratt and her youngest son, Johnny, was considered Booth’s “right hand man”.
