John Wilkes Booth enjoyed dramatic and intense acting, particularly in tragic roles. He was known for his passionate performances and favored plays that showcased strong emotions and complex characters, such as Shakespearean tragedies. Booth's theatrical style emphasized bold gestures and powerful delivery, which captivated audiences of his time. His love for the stage was deeply ingrained in his family heritage, as he came from a prominent acting dynasty.
Booth had many female lovers. At the time of Lincoln's assassination, he was engaged to be married to Lucy Lambert Hale. She was the daughter of former senator of New Hampshire, John P. Hale.
Isabel Sumner was one of the women that John Wilkes Booth fell in love with. John, being at 26 years of age, and Isabel, at 16, had a summer affair. They sent eachother letters and photographs. John gave her a ring with a pearl, on the inside "J.W.B to I.S." (John Wilkes Booth to Isabel Sumner) engraved. Their love affair broke off when he became obsessed with killing Abraham Lincoln.
John Wilkes Booth married Izola Mills on February 9, 1859 in a fit of passion. The marriage was not legal because Izola was married at the time to Charles Bellows. Yes, Izola was married to two people at the same time. Those that say he was not legally married are correct. John and Izola lived together, created a home and had children. Theirs was a marriage of choice. Izola was a perfect wife for John, she allowed him to see other women. John received love letters from many women that Izola knew about, Izola put them out of her mind because she did not want to lose him. After John Wilkes Booth was killed in the Garrett barn, John Stevenson proposed marriage to her. She told Stevenson that John Wilkes Booth was alive and well in San Francisco and she was still in love with him and wanted to go to San Francisco to be with him.

When John Wilkes Booth died, his family experienced a mix of emotions, including grief and shame. They were devastated by the loss of a son and brother, but they also faced public condemnation due to his actions as the assassin of President Lincoln. His family's reputation suffered as they struggled to reconcile their love for him with the heinous act he committed. Overall, the aftermath of his death left them in a complicated emotional state.
John Wilkes Booth was not interested in slavery, one way or the other. He was passionate about state rights. The states at the time had the right to decide all matters concerning the people of that state and the president in Washington had very little. When the US government discriminated against the South and taxed them unfairly (85% of the tariffs were paid by the South), the South exercised their absolute right to secede from the US. Abraham Lincoln wanted the central government in Washington to have all the power and refused to release those seceded states. He tricked the South into firing on Fort Sumter and deliberately started the war. He allowed to be killed 640,000 men to gain central governmental power. The Civil War was a fight for control over all the people. Lincoln took the power away from the states. John Wilkes Booth took the life away from Lincoln.
yes booth DOES love brennan and she loves him but doesnt want to admit it... :D
I think John and Lorraine are falling in love with each other because they are acting strange around each other
Obviously for the most part, no. He would have gone on to further lead our nation to success. The only good that I suppose comes from this are two things: It shows the greater you are the more people love you, and also the more certain people will hate you as well. A practical answer is that it also serves as a guideline for safety precautions that should be taken around someone with power.
