However, after hearing Lincoln make a speech on 11th April 1865 which promoted voting rights for black men, Booth became enraged, and decided to assassinate the president. He initially planned to kill a number of leading political figures, including the president (of course), the Vice president, the secretary of state, and war hero General Ulysses.
