Best Answer

Booth shot and murdered President Abraham Lincoln. After the assassination of President Lincoln, the North took harsh measures against the South. The reunification the country did not go as well under President Andrew Johnson as it would have under President Lincoln, If President Lincoln had not been shot. President Johnson did not like Black people, and he was not in favor of civil rights as President Lincoln was.
