what were some of the key events that outraged john Wilkes booth and led him to decide to assassinate president Lincoln? cite evidence from thew text to support your answer

John Booth was a supporter of the Southern cause and he hated Abraham Lincoln and his policies. John Wilkes Booth believed that shooting the President would give him much honor, and, in the eyes of some, it did. Hoping to convince the Confederate side of the Civil War to continue fighting, now that Lincoln was dead, Booth believed that sacrificing his profitable acting career would give him even more power and honor. As we know, it does not turn out this way, and Booth is eventually found and arrested. Yet, like all of the people fighting in the Civil War itself, this instance just shows that violence is not the way to stand up for the things you believe in.
