No. Twelve days after escaping from the theater where he had shot Lincoln, he was cornered in a shed in Virginia, which was set on fire. He was shot by Sgt Boston Corbett in the confusion, and then dragged from the shed still alive. However, he died shortly afterward. The bullet struck Booth in the neck, paralyzing him and making it difficult for him to talk. He died a short time later. Ironically, Boston Corbet eventually had problems and did something odd like robbed a bank and was confined to a mental ward. He escaped and disappeared and some say he comitted suicide.
He was against Lincon abolishing slavery, he was a confused man.
He thought Lincoln didn't want to end slavery.
Sergeant "Boston" Corbett's weapon was a .44 caliber 1860 Colt Army revolver.

John Wilkes Booth led a bunch of people to throw the US Federal Government into chaos after the Civil War ended in April 1865. It was his plan to kill as many people leading the Union as possible. John Wilkes Booth murdered President Abraham Lincoln, but, his followers only wounded another politician. Booth was shot to death in a barn, after he refused to surrender. 4 of his fellow plotters were hung (after a brief military trial), and others were sent to prison for a long time.
