Although it’s difficult to admit any given his actions, explain an admirable quality of John Wilkes Booth. Explain why you have chosen this quality and use textual evidence to support your case.

John Booth was a supporter of the Southern cause, and he hated Abraham Lincoln and his policies. He was a famous actor and had many contacts, and it was therefore easy for him to access Abraham Lincoln; nonetheless, he was afraid to get caught and therefore waited a long time before following through with his plans. Booth said that, of all Shakespearean characters, his favorite role was Brutus, the slayer of a tyrant. Some critics called Booth "the handsomest man in America" and a "natural genius", and noted his having an "astonishing memory".
