RE: The Reputation of Presidents Takes a Hit in Their Second Term

David, in The Abraham Lincoln Encyclopedia, Dr. Mark E. Neely, Jr. writes:

"No myth has a stronger hold on the popular mind than the assertion that John Wilkes Booth's bullet killed the best friend the South ever had. Yet the mildness of Lincoln's plans for Reconstruction may well have been a lure to get a warring people back. What he would have done in peacetime remains unknown."

What do you (or anyone who would like to voice an opinion) think of that statement?
