John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln because he was a Confederate sympathizer and believed that by killing Lincoln he could help the Confederate cause. Booth was also angered by Lincoln's efforts to abolish slavery and wanted revenge for the Confederacy's defeat in the Civil War. Additionally, Booth was a supporter of the Southern cause and saw Lincoln as an enemy of the South.
