As Abe Lincoln was one of the main driving forces behind the rebuilding of the nation, his death placed a huge burden on the American people, but did not halt our reconstruction. His plans for rebuilding were far more moderate than the Radical Republicans wanted to impose on the South. His death cleared the way for them to impose harsh conditions on the South.
It probably delayed the process by at least two years.
it stopped everything
President Lincoln in dealing with dissent affect the office of the president?
No, instead,the death of Abraham Lincoln strengthened America into striving harder for their pride in him.
I think because he was president and everybody liked him but 9/11 really changed America more than JFK's assassination

It was a tragic aftermath of the Civil War which was all but over at the time of his assassination.
The assassination of President McKinley made the Alaska boundary negotiations easier for America to deal with. Teddy Roosevelt, who took over for McKinley, was prepared to use force to settle disputes over Alaska and the Canadians backed down and let the United States set most of the boundaries.
His best move was to put Grant in charge of the Union Army.
Lincoln used the Gettysburg as an occasion to rally the war-weary public to "stay the course" and continue its confidence in his administration to bring the war to a successful conclusion.
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.
This was the date that M. L. King gave his "I have a dream" speech at LIncoln Memorial. It did not involve affect the President in any direct way , but he watched it on television.
Profound grief.
