Our Geo Quiz today focused on the news. Rather, how the news business worked 144 years ago. On April 15, 1865, the word was spreading about President Lincoln's assassination.
He'd been shot the night before -- at a theater performance in Washington.
He died early in the morning of the 15th.
It took about a day for most Americans to get the news.
The rest of the world didn't find out until about 11 days later.
