Did Abraham Lincoln and john Wilkes booth have any personal connections aside from the assassination?
No, but Booth was a famous actor for his time. There are some places that Booth shows up before the war that is interesting. Booth was a young private when he helped the Union army take John Brown at Harper's Ferry. His commanding office there was Robert E. Lee. When Lincoln said his oath of office Booth can be seen in the crowd several feet from the new President. After the death of Lincoln and Booth Lincoln's son Robert was waiting for a train when the crowd push forward knocking a man nearly off the platform. Robert Lincoln reached out and grabbed the man. That man was the brother of John Wilkes Booth. History is stranger than fiction .
Why is it ironic that John Wilkes Booth's brother saved Robert Lincoln years before?
Actually, you have the story wrong. It was Lincoln who saved Booth one afternoon as a train was coming into the station and Booth was being pushed onto the tracks. Lincoln reached out and grasped his shirt saving his life. This was several years after John Wilkes had shot his father. Yes, it is pretty ironic and one of those bits of history where there are connections. Here is another one. At Harpers ferry Booth was a young union solider, his commander was Robert E. Lee, and Grant was there as well. Booth can also been seen in the front row at the Lincoln swearing in in 1860. All of history connected and not just bits of this and that.
Did someone tell John Wilkes Booth to kill Lincoln?
It seems not. But there are plentiful theories about it - several websites full of them, for a start. Many people wanted to believe that it was an official Confederate plot. That was disproved at once. Others actually believed that it was the Vice-President, Andrew Johnson, who had apparently been seen in Booth's hotel. The consensus is that Booth was the leader of a four-man team, each tasked with one assassination, and Booth had volunteered to kill Lincoln.
What became of the man that shot John Wilkes Booth?
Boston Corbett, a sergeant in the US army shot John Wilkes Booth in April 1865. Booth was trapped in a burning barn with a broken leg and the order was to take him alive. But Corbett claimed Booth was about to shoot a fellow soldier and he had no choice but to shoot him. Booth was hit directly in the neck, paralizing him from the neck down when the bullet tore through his spinal cord. Booth lasted for another 2 hours but finally sucumbed to his injuries. And Corbett became infamous. Nobody would disagree that Corbett had his mental issues. He castrated himself (ouch) so as to resist sin better. He later fired 2 pistols into a crowded session of the Kansas legislature, which earned him a bed in a mental institution. From there, he somehow escaped and was never seen again.
