Question

If Abraham Lincoln was never assassinated, how do

you think slaves and freed blacks would have been
treated during Reconstruction?


For example: If Abraham Lincoln was not
assassinated I think that slaves would have been
given land and there would be a change in southern
government (DO NOT USE MY EXAMPLE)​

Answer 1

Even tho they was free some blacks were still slaves bc they probably didn’t have anywhere to go

Answer 2

If Lincoln had not been assassinated, slaves would have experienced different lives. After Lincoln died, many slave owners got back their slaves and continue to treat them bad. If Lincoln was alive, he would have not allowed that to happen. He would have made sure that African Americans would have his support to get rights. He would also financially support them by offering them land to farm out west.
