Upon Lincolnâ??s assassination, Vice President Andrew Johnson became president. A man with southern allegiance and no love for the former slaves, Johnson immediately stopped penalizing the south for their rebellion. Hundreds of former Confederate officers were granted pardons, property was returned to southern plantation owners and he rendered the Freedmen's Bureau powerless. Furthermore, in 1865, he declared Reconstruction was now over.

Lincolns plan was to abolish slavery!
There had never been an assassination of a president before. However, it started a fad.
Lincolns assassination made the reconstruction of the union a whole lot slower and made it much tougher for the south. Because the congress wasn't set on leniency as Lincoln was.
It was not Lincolns religion it was his policy to flee slaves and to forgive the defeated troops.
It was Mary Surratt who was hanged.
