In which location did Lincoln receive care immediately after the assassination?

• A. Ford's Theatre
• B. The White House
• C. The Peterson House
• D. A hospital in Philadelphia

Answer: (C)

The question examines where Lincoln received medical care immediately after the assassination. Right after the shot at Ford’s Theatre, he was carried across the street to the Petersen House in Washington, D.C., where physicians attended to him through the night. He remained there until he died the next morning. This makes the Petersen House the correct location for his immediate care. The White House was not the treatment site, and there was no move to a Philadelphia hospital as part of the initial response.
