the temperament of junius brutus booth, john wilkes inherited and was similar in acting styles.re we have a photo of the booth brothers in the play, "julius caesar." john wilkes booth was essentially the mastermind of a group of conspirators. when talking about the events leading up to the minute and late 1854, spring 1865, as you get close to the war, it is important to differentiate between a conspiracy to abduct lincoln and a conspiracy t assassinate him. john wilkes booth was looking to not assassinate him. i'm number of agents that john wilkes booth had contact with, particularly when he went north into canada, he had a number of meetings and rhonda those with confederate agents -- a confederate secret service that was established to monitor lincoln's movements. this came about as a result of a number of factors, one of which was the dog render aid, an unsuccessful attempt to take down richmond, the capital of the confederacy. there was a union core that was ambushed and papers were found to burn the white house of the confederacy, and also if possible to kill jefferson dav
