Lincoln was assassinated before he was able to bring a closure to the Civil War. People forget that Lincoln's Vice President was a SOUTHERNER, chosen to try to bring the country together, but a weak man, susceptible to bribes and pressure. He was the man who allowed the Reconstruction to die.

Reconstruction survived Johnson and continued under Grant. It was killed in the deal made to give Hayes the presidency in compromise of 1877

Reconstruction in name only. Johnson survived impeachment, but was a weak president.
