Description
"The author identifies John Wilkes Booth's primary motivation for killing Abraham Lincoln as a growing commitment to white supremacy as an ideology rather than as a political loyalty to the Confederacy. Through alternate chapters, the author shows how Lincoln's increasing acceptance of emancipation and racial equality exacerbated Booth's hatred for Lincoln"--,Provided by publisher.
