Giving 25 points. why did abraham lincoln's assassination put the future of the nation in question? how did abraham lincoln's assassination impact the country or world?

Abraham Lincoln was a very much respected man. Lincoln was a great president and had set slaves free but his death made some released slaves think that the old slave times would return. Abraham's death was hard on the US as a whole.

I hope I got it right.

It put the country into question because nobody knew what would happen now that a major fighter for peace was dead and nobody knew what Lincoln's successor would do for the country,
