John Wilkes Booth was among the finest actors of his day. He was a vain, self-assured person. He had a magnetic personality and a gift for words. He performed his plays in front of Union solders and Southern solders. He was well connected and was even a guest at Lincoln's second inauguration. Unknown to most Americans, he was a secret agent for the Confederacy. He was the original 007. General Stonewall Jackson said Booth was a weapon deadly as cannon fire. His last act as a secret agent was the killing of Abraham Lincoln. Booth then escaped to Mexico and at a later date move back into the US.
I have been asked to make changes to this answer because it is not accepted history. I have checked each line and there are no corrections needed. It is factual as I know it. The history books are wrong and full of misinformation. You will not find truth in accepted history.
no John Wilkes Booth did not kill President Lincoln. He was easily recognizable, having been a nationally renown actor and considered the handsomest man in America. The other guests in the Presidential box recognized him, the stagehand holding his horse outside knew him. (NEW RESPONDENT) I don't understand this answer. There are many conflicting versions of the events of that night. But nobody has tried to prove the innocence of Booth.
