Reason #1 why Booth killed Lincoln
Booth was a loyal confederate soldier, while Lincoln was a Union supporter-- the winning side of the Civil War. As a confederate his views were that the Blacks belonged in slavery and didn't deserve free rights. Lincoln on the other hand fought for free rights for blacks. John Wilkes booth's views clashed with Lincolns and were the exact opposite.
On April eleventh 1865 Lincoln read his speech in public about how the Blacks should be able to vote to elect presidents. Booth had completely disagreed with this and wanted things to stay exactly how they are.
He was going to kill the president
