Answer:

damaged the north's and south's relationship, increasing the north's hate toward the south

Step-by-step explanation:

His death gave the Radical Republicans more freedom to punish the south. And it put Andrew Johnson in charge who also wanted to punish the south and had a very bad relationship with the Congressmen.
