During the Civil War, John Wilkes Booth was primarily known as a prominent actor and a vocal supporter of the Confederacy. He used his fame to advocate for Southern causes and was involved in various pro-Confederate activities. Booth's political beliefs and opposition to President Abraham Lincoln culminated in his infamous assassination of Lincoln in April 1865, marking his transition from a public figure to a historical villain. His actions were driven by his strong commitment to the Southern cause and disdain for Lincoln's policies.
