“Booth was not a ‘Rat?”
The only political party that John Wilkes Booth is known to have joined was the American Party, more commonly known as the Know Nothing Party.
The Know Nothing Party was an opposition party to the Democrats after the collapse of the Whigs in the 1850s. But it also collapsed by 1860 with its members drifting to the Republicans or the Constitutional Union Party.
I probably shouldn’t mention my great grandmother’s maiden name, I reckon.
