No. Killing Lincoln was a huge blow against the south.
With him gone, the black republicans , led by Stanton and others, were able to force a bitter and vindictive “reconstruction” on the confederate states. They were already broke. Most state economies were in shambles.
Lincoln understood this. (I don’t like praising him but he could see this fact)
Folks like Stanton, Morton and others caused an already bloody expensive war to become even more bitter and costly. Remember what I said about people not being happy unless?

"Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden
