I really can't see it, because the Radicals didn't hate Lincoln as much as they hated Andrew Johnson. Had Lincoln been president during Reconstruction, he would have had his hands full, but he would have had the tact and sagacity to mollify the Radicals while getting much, if not most, of what he wanted.
