A MODERATE LINCOLN NORTHERN WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN SHOULD HAVE ASSASSINATED LINCOLN AT THE MOMENT OF THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

on the same grounds as JFK.

It should not have been a Southern cause assassin. 

Lincoln did not, after all, betray the South, but rather the North.

He richly deserved it, fully as much as, or even more than, JFK did, after having betrayed the Mob, an essential part of his electoral base and machine.
