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. This shift in leadership and policy contributed to increased tensions between the North and South, complicating the Reconstruction process and leading to a more contentious political climate. Ultimately, Lincoln's assassination altered the trajectory of post-war America and the efforts to rebuild the nation.
