Yes, Booth opposed the emancipation of enslaved people and believed that Lincoln's policies were detrimental to the South. He saw the freeing of enslaved people as a threat to the social and political order of the Southern states, and he hoped that killing Lincoln would help reverse those policies.

This is a slightly old-fashioned use of "for" and it means "because" of "for the reason that" - but it does not explain why the brother was killed. Instead, it is saying that the brother's being killed is the reason for something else, which is not stated in that utterance.
