Where were Booth and Herold forced to hide out? For how long?

• A. Virginia for several days.
• B. Delaware overnight.
• C. Pennsylvania for two days.
• D. Maryland for an entire day.

Answer: (D)

After the assassination, Booth and Herold fled toward Maryland to escape pursuit. They found shelter in a tobacco barn on the Garrett farm near Port Tobacco, Maryland, and stayed hidden there for roughly one day before the hideout was discovered and they were taken into custody (Booth fatally shot, Herold captured). The other options don’t fit the record because the fugitives did not hide in Virginia, Delaware, or Pennsylvania for the durations listed.
