Is it true that Abraham Lincoln was the first U.S. president to be assassinated?

Yes. Two reference sources state directly that Lincoln was the first U.S. president to be assassinated, one noting no president had been assassinated before him. Several other sources confirm the 1865 assassination but do not address whether he was the first.
