John Wilkes Booth was guilty of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. He was a Confederate sympathizer who believed that killing Lincoln would aid the Southern cause. After the assassination on April 14, 1865, Booth fled and was ultimately tracked down and killed by Union soldiers. His actions were widely condemned, and he was considered a criminal for his role in this act of violence against the nation's leader.
