John Wilkes Booth
John Wilkes Booth was an American actor and Confederate sympathizer, most infamously known for assassinating President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Born in 1838 into a prominent acting family, Booth was a successful actor but became infamous for his role in one of the most significant acts of political violence in American history. His motivations stemmed from his staunch opposition to Lincoln's policies, particularly regarding slavery and the Civil War, which ultimately led to his dramatic downfall.
Born on May 10, 1838 (186 years old)
