RE: If Lincoln had not died
In 1863 Congress passed the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act which basically allowed Lincoln to suspend the act for the lifetime of the rebellion.
Here's an article in the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association discussing Lincoln and Habeas Corpus. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
