The Infamous John wilkes booth

By the year 1860 he would finally be known as the youngest tragedian. At this time he had only one goal in life, and that was to become Famous. He wanted everybody in America to know about him, and his dream came true. He would be called to perform in Shakespeare's plays and every time he would perform he would get a standing ovation. In my opinion there wasn't really any good actors back then. If you knew lines then you were a good actor. John Wilkes booth was also a racist. He thought that the white man was the power and no other power could over through the white man. Then when Lincoln became president and started to change what I think he called the RULE; which was that there were no rights or freedom for anyone who wasn't a white native American, and that really pissed off John. The order of power was changed because blacks had power and they could run their own lives with out asking permission.
             John and a group of people that also despise Abraham and his decision started to think of a plan. They started to make a plan to kidnap Lincoln at a nurse house or a Funeral home. Either way that had to plan real well. After months of planning he didn't go to the nursing home instead he went on a free day and went to watch a play. So since the kidnap spot changed the whole plan was canceled away and done with. Then one day John Wilkes Booth was getting his mail at Fort's theatre. Since he doesn't get his mail at his house. Then he went there and found out that Abraham Lincoln was going to watch a play that night. So he ran home and tried to get a hold of all those people that were supposed to accompany him in the kidnap. But they didn't believe he was there. .
