How might history be different if Lincoln had not been assassinated at the end of the Civil War?
Reconstruction may have proceeded less harshly, potentially mitigating long-term animosity between North and South.
Slavery could have ended sooner than it did.
There may never be Jim Crow laws as Lincoln wouldn't allow them.
