Betty:

If you are suggesting that ideology had a lot to do with their motivation, I agree. But I also agree with Pamela that money played a major part in the matter too. See pages 133 and 134 of my book. See also page 328, which contains Arnold's statement that:

"The men by whom he (Booth) had been surrounded and who had associated themselves with him were, to a great extent, ignorant men. They clung to him for the bountty they were receiving at Booth's hand."
