Critical Thinking #1

You've been able to read a primary source from this time period. Now try to imagine yourself living in this time period. Why do you think John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln? Do you think it was for selfish reasons, or do you think Booth was trying to make a statement for the Southern states? What do you think Lincoln's cabinet talked about that night? Please respond to these questions with a minimum of 6 sentences. Be sure to use all parts of the Wiki page including the interactive map, video, and images.
