If President Lincoln hadn't been assassinated, I believe that Reconstruction and the post-war era would have been more historically positive and ambitious. I think Lincoln would have achieved more things politically and socially for America, and would have done more to fight against many injustices in this country. Andrew Johnson did not have a positive presidency, says his impeachment. Lincoln had plans, but Andrew Johnson created policies and actions that went against the Republican Party and angered many, like his pardoning of Southerners. Lincoln would have continued to be a great figure for his party and I believe would have provided more as leadership than Johnson. If he was not assassinated, I believe that Lincoln would have continued his legacy and his fight for justice in America.
