What would happen if Abraham Lincoln was not assassinated?
Lincoln died within 10 hours of being shot in the head at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Abraham Lincoln might have survived being shot if today's medical technology had existed. However, Lincoln would have months of recovery before he could have returned to office, and whether he would have been able to communicate is unclear. Johnson, who took office after Lincoln's death, was the only Southern senator not to leave office upon secession. Lincoln had put him on the presidential ticket as a symbol of unity, but Johnson was a southern Democrat who was not sympathetic to Lincoln's Republican Party or to helping the newly-freed slaves. Before Lincoln died, He told his acquaintances, "For once in my life as President, I find myself in a position to give everybody something!"
Why did Abraham Lincoln hate his father?
It's not so much that he hated his father, as he didn't really get along with him. Lincoln's mother died when he was a boy; his father had health problems and wasn't able to do all the farm work. So young Abraham had to step in, which he didn't particularly like. Beyond that, he simply didn't get along with his father- they were too different. Abraham enjoyed learning, reading and studying (he eventually became a lawyer, despite having little formal education), and his father did not share that passion.
What did Abraham Lincoln believe in?
Abraham Lincoln was skeptical about organized religion, although he participated in church with his wife. Politically, he adhered to the beliefs of the Founding Fathers, especially with regard to representative democracy.
