John Wilkes Booth

John Wilkes Booth was an actor during the Civil War. But he isn't remembered for his talent on the stage. Booth will always be known as the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.

Booth was born May 10, 1838. He came from a family that was strong in the theater. When the Civil War broke out, he promised his mother that he wouldn't volunteer for the army. He did support the South and wanted it to win the war.

During the winter of 1864 to 1865, Booth met with several other people. Together, they planned to kidnap the president. They wanted to exchange him for Southern prisoners. Booth tried to kidnap Lincoln several times, but he couldn't do it. So Booth changed his plan. Instead, he would assassinate the president. Other members of the group would attack the vice president and the secretary of state.
