Why did John Wilkes Booth assassinate Abraham Lincoln
Definition1/11

John Wilkes Booth despised Lincoln's desire to end slavery; Booth supported the Confederacy. After he assassinated Lincoln, Booth was surprised that the public opposed what he had done. He expected to be regarded as a hero.
He hoped to revive the spirit of the South and continue the War of Northern Agression.
John Wilkes Booth originally planned to kidnap Lincoln but then decided to shoot him.

With that said, many freed slaves wanted to enlist in the Union army.

What advantage was the Confederacy missing that might have turned the war in its favor
Definition1/11

They were missing official recognition by the British and French, which might have happened, until Lincoln skillfully deflected it by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Confederacy was missing a number of important things and even so, it still had a chance.

  • The South was missing more of an industrial base than it had;
  • An alliance with Great Britain would have let the South go "free". Depending of course on the degree of commitment.
  • A larger civilian population with which to bring into the army.
