John Wilkes Booth

John Wilkes Booth's debut was in Shakespeare's Richard III.

John Wilkes Booth's assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 had a profound impact on American society, instilling fear and outrage among the population. His actions galvanized anti-slavery activists and strengthened the resolve of those fighting for civil rights, while simultaneously inspiring a wave of conspiracy theories and a culture of political violence. Booth's legacy continues to influence discussions around political extremism and the consequences of radical actions in pursuit of ideology. Ultimately, his actions serve as a cautionary tale about the potential for individual actions to shape national narratives and societal tensions.

Booth wanted to restart the Civil War. He wrote in his diary that he thought the south would come to his aide, hide him, and also wanted the war to continue. He was wrong. Not only did southerners turn on him, not give him sanctuary, but they were as upset about the death of the president as the north was. Booth was surprised about this and wrote about his being alone, hurt, and hunted.

In "Hamlet," the structure and pacing of the play serve as a metaphorical clock, reflecting the theme of time and its impact on the characters. Booth utilizes the play's rhythm, shifts in dialogue, and moments of silence to convey the passage of time and build tension, particularly in Hamlet's indecision. The timing of key events, such as the ghost's appearance and the climactic duel, further emphasizes the urgency of action and consequence within the narrative. Thus, the play's progression mirrors the inexorable march of time, reinforcing the characters' struggles against fate.

His co-conspirators were supposed to kill Vice Presiden Johnson and Secretary of State Seward but did not. Booth slashed Army Major Rathbone who had made an effort to stop Booth's escape, but he survived his wound.

Booth caught the spur of his riding boot on the bunting and US Treasury Flag decorating Lincoln's box.

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!"

the last person who answered this is very rude for doing that, the answer is Yemen

Booth did not die in the barn, he was dragged out and died on the porch of the Garrett's farmhouse.

Booth personally killed only President Lincoln. However, his co-conspirator Lewis Powell (aka Paine) made an attempt on the life of Secretary of State William Seward. A third conspirator, George Atzerodt, was supposed to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson, but got drunk and didn't go through with it.

He was famous for acting in the 1850s. And on April 14, 1865 he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.

Major Henry Reed Rathbone, US Army and his fiancee Clara Harris were Lincoln's guests at Ford Theatre that evening, and Rathbone's arm was slashed by Booth when he tried to prevent Booth's escape. Rathbone's physical wound healed but he was depressed about not being able to prevent Lincoln's assassination. He and Clara married and in 1882 he became the Consul to Hanover, Germany. On 23 December 1883 he murdered Clara and stabbed himself. He spent the remainder of his life in a German mental hospital.
