No. His diary reflects that the thought he would be a hero and that the south would rally around and keep the civil war going. He was wrong. Instead, the south was just as upset as the rest of the country to have the president killed. When Booth was on the run he couldn't find any one in the south to help him or hide him. Lincoln's body was carried by train to Springfield and every town or city it went through people lined the streets for hours to say "goodbye" to the president.
