Explanation:

First Question:

To determine who assassinated President Lincoln, we recall historical facts. John Wilkes Booth, an actor, assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Henry Rathbone was a witness, Thaddeus Stevens was a politician, and Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's successor.

Confederate debt repudiation refers to the refusal to repay debts owed by the Confederacy (or Confederate states). The correct option should relate to money loaned to the Confederacy/Confederate states not being repaid. The first option states that money loaned to the Confederacy or individual Confederate states via bonds or loans would never be repaid, which matches the definition.

Answer:

B. John Wilkes Booth
