That is why we argue over the Civil War to this day. With Lincoln’s untimely demise a chapter of our history did not reach a denouement.

It might have gone better for the people in the South if Lincoln had lived, but it may very well have turned out much the same.

The reconstruction profiteers were coming anyway. Their sons were dead anyway. Their homes were burned anyway.

Not exactly sure what Lincoln might have done differently than what was done.
