∙ 16y agoJohn Wilkes Booth and his associates were in Washington as part of a plan, known to the Confederate government, to abduct President Lincoln and take him as a prisoner into the Confederacy. Once there, it was hoped that he could be used as a "bargaining chip" for the release of Confederate prisoners of war, or other concessions. When Lee's surrender made the original plan impractical, Booth and a number of others changed it, apparently on their own initiative, into an assassination plot. After the war, Secretary of War Stanton and others made a determined search for evidence implicating Jefferson Davis and other leading Confederates in the plan to kill Lincoln, but none was ever found.

Who else did booth plan on assassinating?
Vice-president Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State Seward are the answers to your question. But, your question has implications that are incorrect. Booth planned to kill no one. He planned to kidnap Lincoln and no one else. Many others were planning to kill Lincoln. Late in the afternoon of April 14, 1865, Booth was brought into a plan to kill Lincoln. It was not his plan!!! He was just the assassin. Booth killed Lincoln. The assassins of Vice-president Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State Seward failed to kill their intended victims. Because John Wilkes Booth was successful in killing Lincoln, he has been given the credit for the for the planning of all three assassinations. He did not create the plans or organize the personnel for a successful mission. That does not mean there was no planning. There was an immense amount of planning by a trusted friend of Lincoln's, Edwin Stanton.
