QPQ: Done.

Overall: I have gone through the article and made some copyedits. QPQ is met and there are no problems in the article stopping it from becoming a DYK. The first hook and ALT2 are the best. Good job on making an article like this. Fun fact: One of my ancestors was present in Ford's Theater for Lincoln's assassination. @4meter4: Jon698 (talk) 23:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
