Well thank God this didn't actually happen. Lincoln was absolutely a horrible man and president. I wouldn't even want to think how "reconstruction" (ie terrorism on the south) would have been had Lincoln not been spared from the nation.

His Reconstruction would have been more lenient than Johnson's.

Look how the tyrant dictated during the war. You know with his shutting down of the free press, illegal seizures and false imprisonment. Tell me how the tyrant would have changed post war? That bullet that mercifully entered that "mans" head saved thousands of lives and probably the future of the USA as we know it now.

Didn't you even read Lincoln's second inaugural "With malice toward none and charity for all"? Or perhaps you have forgotten he was willing to allow anystate back into the Union if they would simply ask tpo be let in.

I find it funny that you say that Lincoln would have simply allowed any state to "re-enter" the union. Especially when he believed that no states had left the union originally.
