Most people would think that the South's reaction to Lincoln's assassination would be happy for them, and so did John Wilkes Booth. But actually, after the Civil War, Southerns became to like Lincoln and so really both Northern and Southerns wanted Booth. Booth thought that the Northerners would search for him, but the Southerns would fight for him. But Booth was killed in a barn in Virginia.

∙ 15y agoWhile it is undoubtable that many citizens of the South were happy to hear the news of Lincoln's death, the Confederacy had all but a small regime been vanquished or had surrendered at the time of Lincoln's assassination. He was mourned by the Northern states, save for the Copperheads, a liberal democratic group in the Union that strongly opposed the republican cabinet and the changes they were making. The United States Civil War was pretty much over by the time John Wilkes Booth made himself famous.
