This is a "post hoc ergo propter hoc" argument. Unless you have better support for this assertion, the fact that one thing occurs after the other does not make the one thing the cause of the other.
Booth had no problem with Jefferson Davis being a tyrant in the South when he seized property or executed citizens who refused to join his treason.
I've covered this topic with others. Did whatever passes for the Confederate constitution prohibit this activity? The US Constitution certainly did. Jefferson Davis may have been in full compliance with his governing document when he took such actions. Lincoln obviously wasn't.
Booth was a total fanatic who did what fanatics do.
One might say the same of Lincoln. 600,000 dead in a war that needn't have occurred? Civil disruption and disaster as far as the eye could see afterward? Destruction of fundamental founding principles? Creation of our current "FedZilla" that has engaged in even more destruction of "consent of the governed"?
And all for what? Lincoln was going to let the South keep slavery, he just wasn't going to allow them to be independent of his government.
It's pretty common knowledge.
On the evening of April 11, the president stood on the White House balcony and delivered a speech to a small group gathered on the lawn. Two days earlier, Robert E. Lee had surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, and after four long years of struggle it had become clear that the Union cause would emerge from the war victorious. Lincoln’s speech that evening outlined some of his ideas about reconstructing the nation and bringing the defeated Confederate states back into the Union. Lincoln also indicated a wish to extend the franchise to some African-Americans—at the very least, those who had fought in the Union ranks during the war—and expressed a desire that the southern states would extend the vote to literate blacks, as well. Booth stood in the audience for the speech, and this notion seems to have amplified his rage at Lincoln. “That means nigger citizenship,” he told Lewis Powell, one of his band of conspirators. “Now, by God, I’ll put him through. That is the last speech he will ever make.”Source: http://teachinghistory.org/history-content/ask-a-historian/24242
The confederate constitution is probably 95% word-for-word identical to the US Constitution. You can find clause-by-clause comparison here.
Perhaps you can find the parts that give Davis more power than Lincoln to do all these bad things Lincoln haters hold up as examples of his tyrannical atrocities.
Do a quick on google search on “Jeff Davis arrests citizens” or “Jeff Davis acts of tyranny” and you will come up with - nothing.
