Lincoln assassination conspiracy

The Lincoln assassination conspiracy involves the idea that John Wilkes Booth organized a broader plot with others to kill President Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William H. Seward, aiming to destabilize the Union government. While Booth acted alone in shooting Lincoln, some believe there may have been additional co-conspirators and that the attack was part of a larger plan by Confederate sympathizers to reverse Union victories and revive the Confederacy's cause. However, historical evidence primarily supports Booth's role, with no definitive proof of a coordinated conspiracy involving all targets.
