Best Answer

By the time of Lincoln's assassination, the Civil War was over. Lee has surrendered along with Johnston and Forrest and most southern people believed that Lincoln would be far more gracious in reconstruction than the new President, Andrew Johnson.

Mary Chestnut knew that with Lincoln having been murdered, the south would be treated far worse by the Union occupational troops and politically in Washington. She turned out to be completely correct.
