John Wilkes Booth believed that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant because he viewed Lincoln's policies, particularly those related to the Civil War and the preservation of the Union, as an infringement on states' rights and individual liberties. Booth, a staunch supporter of the Confederacy, saw Lincoln's actions, such as the suspension of habeas corpus and the Emancipation Proclamation, as overreach and a betrayal of the Constitution. This perception fueled Booth’s radical beliefs and ultimately motivated him to assassinate Lincoln in an attempt to restore what he saw as true American values.
