racism would still be as it is if he were still alive. When the reconstruction era was going on‚ I think him being alive would have made it much “smoother” then it was. I believe that if Abraham Lincoln were still alive congress people would have made efficient constitutional decisions. Lincoln was a very honest and a person who was not afraid to give his opinion.
