What would have happenned had Lincoln not been shot?

I believe that things would have been better for the South in that case. Yes, congress would have hated the South but hopefully after Lincoln finished his term things would have calmed down.

Or, lets say Congress did continue treating the south like crap, after the Lincoln administration, could you imagine if Lincoln actively complained and perhaps in campaigned against the extremist Senators... That could have really changed the landscape of politics.

It's an interesting subject it sounds like something that is kind of abstract and he could just write a fairly creative alternative timeline.
