A .44 caliber derringer and a large hunting knife.

John Wilkes Booth suffered a broken leg when he jumped down to the stage from the Presidential Box after assassinating President Lincoln.

Booth leaped to the stage of Ford's Theater, jumping to the box and shooting Abraham Linconln at point blank range. Booth's words after shooting Lincoln were "sic semper tyrannis", which translates from Latin as "thus always to tyrants".

John Wilkes Booth was an actor and Southern sympathizer who shot and killed President Abraham Lincoln. He shot Lincoln on April 14, 1865 while the President and his wife were attending a play at Ford's Theater in Washington, DC. Lincoln died the following morning.

i think his eyes were dark brown

As per common tradition Booth was killed by Cavalry Sergeant Corbett, but the Historian O. Eisenschmiel, basing himself on solid arguments, claimed that he was shot to dead by Lieutenant Colonel Conger of the Secret Service.

John Wilkes Booth was in a family of famous actors. John wanted to make a name for himself and used the stage name of John Wilkes.

Yes! See the link below.

After he shot Lincoln he jumped off the balcony onto the stage, breaking his leg, and ran outside to his get-a-way horse. He was later caught. What he actually said while doing so is still debated. He is alleged to have said "Sic semper tyrannis" (Latin for "Thus always to tyrants"), and some suggested that he also said "I have done it, the South is avenged!"

Nothing he wasnt captured he just died outside a barn after a fire

Four co-conspirators were hanged. They were Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, George Atzerodt and David Herold.

He ended his formal education at the age of 14, but the education he did get was superb, including special tutors at some of the finest prep schools in Maryland. Very few 14 year old Americans today get Booth's level of classical education even with a prestegious Masters Degree.

It was a .44 caliber single shot percussion Philadelphia Derringer which is on display at the Ford's Theatre Museum in Washington, DC.

Killing president Lincoln

John Wilkes Booth was a colonel in the Confederate secret service. He maintained his status as an actor to create a cover for his actions. He served under General Stonewall Jackson. Booth is credited with the confiscation of needed medical supplies from the North and successfully delivering wagon loads of foodstuffs and clothing into the hands of the South. He also supplied secret information from the North to General Jackson. It was Booth that found Jefferson Davis' badly injured son (Finis) on the battle field and saw to it that he received medical attention. After General Jackson was murdered, it was Booth that solved the crime and took the assailant's life.

On May 2, 1863, Booth was given a $100,000 and the assignment to kill or capture Lincoln. Booth thought that after killing Lincoln, he would be treated as a hero. But, he wasn't. If and when the truth comes out about Lincoln, he may yet get his wish.

Abraham Lincoln was Republican.

He didn't affect the Civil War, because Lee had surrendered by the time Booth assassinated Lincoln.

He affected the post-war Reconstruction by letting the Vice-President Andrew Johnson into the top job.

John Wilkes Booth was a Confederate sympathizer and led a small group that sought revenge for the Union's battle against Southern independence. At first his idea was to kidnap President Lincoln. After the South was defeated, Booth sought a new plan of revenge, the assassination of the US President Lincoln and other members of Lincoln's cabinet. Lincoln was shot by Booth on April 14, 1865 and died the next day.

John Wilkes Booth's contribution to our society and history is easy to see. He gave us Lincoln! Not just any ordinary Lincoln, but Lincoln the martyr, the hero, the last great victim of the Civil War. Had Lincoln lived on, it is possible that he might have botched the Reconstruction and been remembered as a mediocre president. Thanks to Booth, Lincoln is idolized and eulogized and has, by far, one of the biggest personal statues in the country in Washington, DC.

Lewis Powell and Mary Surratt were picked up at her boarding house. David Herold was arrested at Garrett's farm where Booth died and George Atzerodt had been in hiding on a farm in Germantown, Maryland and was arrested on 20 April.

Everyone was in custody by the end of April except for John Surratt, Jr who was eventually taken into custody in Egypt in November of 1866. He was the only one of the co-conspirators who was tried in Civil Courts where the jury could not reach a verdict, and he was released and lived as a free man until his death at the age of 72.

There is no evidence to a behavior problem or disorder.
