Question

Did the assassination of Abraham Lincoln have the impact Booth expected? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln's assassination dramatically changed the Reconstruction era. President Abraham Lincoln, America's Civil War leader, was assassinated just five days after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army at Appomattox Court House, ending the four-year War Between the States. John Booth wanted the war to be in favor of slavery, and have the South be separated from the North. By killing Lincoln, Booth had just ended the war.
