It is for the audience to decide who is hero, who is villain. We simply play the parts allotted to us. Lincoln was killed for going to soft on the South !

"Lincoln was killed for going too soft on the South"
The antagonism of Johnson merely served to cement the divisions and angst of both sides. Jim Crow, along with subsequent unrest and strife resulted. The assassin's bullet not only struck down a leader dedicated to healing the nation, but it also ultimately caused the implosion of the South upon itself. Air conditioning did the rest.

(The New South is just like the Old South, except that all the trucks are now made in Japan)
