Yes, but he lacked the moral imagination (empathy) that made Lincoln (among other things) great. "Fortune's Fool" notes that Booth was very close-minded. He wanted to learn from other people who were well informed, but only to reinforce his own opinions. What was said about the Bourbon monarchs of France might well apply to JWB: "they remembered everything but learned nothing."
