Also presidential assassin. So when we last left John Wilkes Booth, Booth was in the early stages of winding down his acting career with the explicit purpose of devoting more time to a conspiracy to kidnap Abraham Lincoln so the Confederacy could ransom the president in exchange for Confederate POWs.

See, by this point... By this point in the American Civil War, 1864, the Confederacy was on a near irreversible downward slide, and John Wilkes Booth had done absolutely nothing in service of defending his beloved institution of slavery, aside from talking a lot of shit.

From what it seems like to me, Booth had more or less convinced himself that he was simply waiting in the wings for his moment to step into history, as if his part in the war was simply another stage role.

John Wilkes Booth had been greatly inspired by the pre-war raid on Harper's Ferry led by the abolitionist John Brown, but only in the sense that John Brown had taken matters into his own hands and had fought and died for a cause.

Now if you'll remember, John Wilkes Booth had wanted to inspire people just as John Brown had, in the sense that Brown had gathered a small crew to fight against impossible odds.
