My understanding is that there was some dialogue prior to Booth being shot. He refused to come out and said that he would shoot anyone that tried to take him. I believe that it was his intention to fight to the end. When he was paralyzed he looked and his hands and said; "Useless, useless!"

Why was Abraham Lincoln associated?

Firstly, I am assuming that you mean assassinated, as opposed to associated. The man that shot him (John Wilkes Booth) was from the South, and was part of a group that did not like his views on slavery. Lincoln and most people from the North wanted to abolish slavery, but most people from the South wanted to keep trading slaves. This was the main reason for the civil war, and the reason that Lincoln was shot. Booth was NOT from the south. He was from Maryland. He was however a confederate sympathizer.
