April 14, 2015 is the 150
year anniversary of the assignation of President Abraham Lincoln
at Ford’s Theater April 14, 1865.Understanding birth order
allows us to recreate and unmask the personality of his
assassin. JW Booth who was 26 years old.
The Booth Family
JW Booth was the ninth
child in a famous theatrical family.
His Father Junius Brutus Booth
died in 1852 when John was
14 years old. He became the oldest male
living at their country
home in Maryland with his mother, two older
sisters and a
younger brother. For the next 3yrs he farmed the
land with the
help of the family slaves. His two older brothers
pursued their
own theatrical careers following in their fathers
profession.
Thespians at this time were the rock stars of their day.
Traveling across
the country performing from New Orleans
to Chicago, New York and
California. The Booths were each
earning over $20,000 dollars annually which would be $500,000

John Wilkes double birth
order is a #5/3. The #5 is the
second
level #1birth order. He shows the traits of a
firstborn but much
more subdued. People with
Double
birth orders are very difficult to unmask as they move
between both their birth order characteristics. They appear
one way to
some people and completely different to others.
The Third Born Birth Order
The third born is the
idealist, dreamer, and visionary.
They
see the World’s problems as
something they wish
to correct. Nature,
music, and understanding people
are
some of their gifts. They can be laughing on the outside
but crying on the inside, letting few see their inner turmoil.
Others see
them as sweet and gentle. This birth order may
dream of slaying
dragons but has little power to carry out
the deed.
The Fifth Born Birth Order
This is the second level
#1 birth order. Like a firstborn
they
are high achievers and can’t
stand to be wrong. They
love to exercise power over others and lead
them in their
direction. Where a #1 is obvious in their
command and
control personality the #5 is much more subtle but still
wants to be in charge, they have a lighter touch. He
showed coolness
and commanded confidence.
JW Booth the 5th and 3rd birth
order
From his teenage years he
identified with the South and
all its principles. He was described as having intuitive
intelligence a #3 trait. He also loved nature and would
throw himself
to the ground and inhale the
“earth’s healthy
breath”. He could play the flute and appeared gay
on the
surface with a taint of melancholy both #3 traits.
He began
acting at age 17 following his brother’s lead. Fellow
actors
saw him as a gentle man but also captivating showing both
the #3 and #5 sides of his personality.
The Civil War and the Family
There was a split between
all the family members and John
Wilkes. He was a member of the No
Nothing Party that was
against immigration and for
keeping things unchanged in
America. His brothers played the
Northern theaters and he
the Southern. No one could convince him
to change his views
but because of the theater he could
easily move in the North.
He played at Ford’s theater and even
got his mail there. He
moved freely in Washington D.C. as his
last love interest was
the daughter of a Senator friend of the
President. During the
war he broke his word to his mother that he
would not get
involved. He became a spy, blockade runner and
rebel. At the
wars end he was convinced that Lincoln was
going to become
King and he must save the nation from
this tyrant. At first he
had a plot to kidnap the President in
exchange for prisoners,
but it did not work out.
Then he organized his group to kill
the President and all the cabinet officers
at the same time.
After the Assassination
On the run after he killed
the President he firmly believed
what he had done would
save the nation. He felt he owed it
to the South and its
people. Quixotic to the end, his last
words
were to his mother. “ Tell
my Mother I died for my Country.”
His family could never
change his beliefs but loved the side
of him that he showed
them. Without the power of his
Double Birth order he
could have never attained his goal.
