Yes, it is true. Abraham Lincoln was actively pursuing a plan for Reconstruction that aimed to reunite the nation and facilitate a smooth transition for the Southern states after the Civil War. John Wilkes Booth's assassination of Lincoln not only robbed the country of a leader committed to healing but also led to a harsher Reconstruction under his successor, Andrew Johnson, which ultimately deepened divisions and prolonged the suffering in the South. Thus, Booth's actions inadvertently undermined the very cause he claimed to support.
