The stories about John Wilkes Booth being contracted by 19th century British Intelligence, (was it MI6 then?) to carry out the assassination are probably true, except that British Intelligence may have been co-opted? or used? or designed? as a front by Freemasons?/Illuminati??

If that's true, my understanding is that
racism was one of the mission objectives of the perpertrators, just as Freemasons(?) are said to have created the KKK in the U.S. to create an institutionalized form of racism that would fester in the U.S. for decades, splintering unity that could be further exploited by TPTB.

My understanding is that the assassination of Lincoln was part of the plan to de-rail recontruction of the South after the Civil War to keep the pot boiling between Northern and Southern patriots, more destabilization of the U.S. as designed by the Oxford group (industrialists, aristocrats) intent on the destruction of the U.S..
