It was God's will to make way for a better man. No lie.

"It is well that [the murder] happened," wrote Francis Lieber, prominent among those who favored punishing the South. "Lincoln could not die a more glorious death." Some detected the hand of god in the crime. Divine will had kept Lincoln in power only until he could be replaced by a better man. This was the opinion of Charles Sumner, one of Mary Lincoln's favorite social escorts, who wrote of feeling sorry for the late president's family but consoled himself with a belief that "his deazth will do more for the cause than any human life."

Again you post the opinion of idiots and act like it's truth. Can you not think for yourself? Lincoln was like Bush and Reagan, the Washington social establishment didn't like him.
