Original Note:
There is no proof of Booth being jewish. Booth was a member of “Know-Nothings” which as an anti-catholic/anti-immigrant hate group. Booth and this group were very much pro-slavery. Lincoln himself did not own slaves, but married into a slave owning family. https://www.visitmaryland.org/article/who-was-john-wilkes-booth#:~:text=Sadly%20for%20the%20nation%2C%20Booth,of%20the%20Confederate%20Secret%20Service. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/john-wilkes-booth#:~:text=During%20his%20teen%20years%20he,the%20execution%20of%20John%20Brown. https://www.mtlhouse.org/slavery
