Booth was a supporter of the south and didn't believe what Lincoln was doing was civil. He organized a plan to take out three major leaders of the union including Lincoln. Why at Ford's Theatre? That is where Lincoln was going to be and Ford's Theatre was Booth's home turf. For an assassin, having the home field advantage greatly improved the chances of success.
