You got your facts wrong again, Illbay. Booth shouted out "Sic Semper Tyrannis!" as he fired -- for the Latin-impaired, "Thus always to tyrants." I don't agree with murder, but Lincoln's suspending the Constitution, putting the nation under martial law, shutting down presses with which he disagreed, among other things, lead me to appreciate Booth's sentiments.

Booth considered Lincoln a "Tyrant" because he was going to allow "niggers" to vote.

He made that statement on many occasions before the assassination.

The Civil War was fought over slavery, and its only lasting legacy was the ending of slavery many decades before it would have ended otherwise.
