Who were John Wiilkes Booth's accomplices?

There were four people convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. They were Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold and George Atzerodt. None of them took an active roll in killing Lincoln. Mary Surratt was not involved in any of the planning to kill or kidnap Lincoln. According to John St. Helen, she was innocent. George Atzerodt was involved in the planning, but refused to take part in the killing of Lincoln or anyone else. Davis Herold and Lewis Powell were involved in the attack on Seward. They had nothing to do with Lincoln's killing. Herold did rejoin Booth and helped him in his escape. Then, who were Booth's accomplices? St. Helen's said that Vice-president Andrew Johnson talked Booth into killing Lincoln on the afternoon of April 14. John Stevenson (Knight of the Golden Circle) said that Booth then went to get support from the men financing Lincoln's kidnapping. When Booth informed them that he was going to kill Lincoln, they agreed to support Booth if he would also kill Vice-president Johnson and The Secretary of State, Seward.

Who inspires john Wilkes booth?

Booth in his diary writes how he is going to restart the civil war and how the south will consider him a hero. In his own mind he decided to kill Lincoln and if anything inspired him it would be his thinking that he was helping the south keep the war going. After his killing of Lincoln his diary reflects he was surprised about the reaction of people concerning Lincoln's death. The nation, north and south, were upset and they mourned the loss of the president. Booth expected people to help him and hide him, but one would and he found himself alone, hungry, wet, and hiding from the country wide search for him.
