Among those planning to be in attendance the night President Lincoln went to the theater was the well known actor, John Wilkes Booth. Before the Civil War Booth had been a member of the Know-Nothing Party, a political organization formed to preserve the country for native-born white citizens. Long a Southern sympathizer, he blamed Lincoln for the problems in the South.
Booth, who went professionally by the name of J. Wilkes Booth, came from a strong theater background. The Booth family was well known throughout America for its participation in the theater. Booth's father was Junius Brutus Booth, Sr., a famous actor. His brothers were Junius Brutus, Jr. and Edwin, both also actors.
