They provided bodyguards if he wanted them.
But Lincoln did not think he was in danger of assassination - despite his vivid dream a few days earlier that clearly foresaw it.

Lincoln's assassination in 1865 was significant for Reconstruction because it removed a moderate leader who favored a lenient approach towards the South. His death led to the ascendance of more radical elements within the Republican Party, who sought to impose stricter measures on Southern states and protect the rights of newly freed African Americans.
