I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY PLZ!!! Explain how, throughout the text, the author presents the south's defeat in the civil war as a deeply personal event for John Wilkes Booth.

Answer 1

Answer:

John Wilkes booth was a strong supporter of the South.

Explanation:

When the Civil War began, Booth was a strong supporter of the Southern resistance. During a performance in Albany, New York he revealed his admiration for the South’s secession, calling it “heroic.” His audience was enraged, calling his words “treasonous statements,” but their shouts did little to curb his success. Booth did not appreciate the political outcome of the presidential election. When Lincoln was elected, Booth drafted a long statement discrediting the abolitionist movements of the North, but the statement was never published. Booth was reportedly outspoken about his love for the South and hatred for Lincoln.With this hatred and tension building up, Booth decided that he was going to kill the president.
