History Question

How do you think would history have been different if Lincoln had not been assassinated? How might his leadership after the war have differed from that of Andrew Johnson?

Answer 1

Answer: Lincoln wanted to have a quick reconciliation with easy terms for the south, Although Lincoln would have continued to be heated in the south, there had been a great chance that he would have been re-elected several more times, had he been willing to run( probably equaling or surpassing Franklin Delano Roosevelt four times). The United States would not have kept to endure the term of Lincoln's weak successor, Andrew Johnson. If Lincoln had lived, he would have been able to control radicals and make reconstruction work.

Assassination of Lincoln, however,  left the vulnerable Andrew Johnson, southerner and a farmer slave owner with no college education, president. He lacked any noticeable skill in political dealings. he hated the southern autocracy nearly but not quite as much as he hated black people. The northern Democrats quickly renewed the pre war ties with their One times foes.for ten years the army and Federal law enforcement tried to enforce the law and protected the newly freed slaves but fail due to the lack of federal laws. If Lincoln had lived he would have controlled the redicals and had made reconstruction work.
