Best Answer

John Wilkes Booth and members of his conspiracy had originally hoped to kidnap Lincoln and hold him for ransom. The attempt(s) to do this were unsuccessful. After that, the kidnap plan became an assassination plan, in hopes of ending the war, and allowing the Confederate States of America to continue as a government separate from the Union.
