Just to tie lose ends (for a potential TL):

1) How plausible is it that Lincoln would embrace -- or, just as importantly, would not embrace -- the women's movement, privately or otherwise? (From my own googling, this, and that Lincoln was a mild sobriety proponent, is the best I could come up with...)

2) What if, after the war, Jefferson Davis and a few extra politicians of the (disbanded) CSA escaped to London, and (as former colleagues are prone to do) meet together time to time? What kind of trouble might they plausibly cause?

3) Is the passage of Land Reform as part of Reconstruction noticeably more likely if Lincoln lives? My understanding is no, but I'm open to rebuttals...

4) How might a more successful Reconstruction affect developing ideas like Social Darwinism, or future ideas of OTL, like eugenics?

5) I've also got a Spanish American War going on TTL about 1887 during a Cleveland Administration -- any good candidates to play the role TR did OTL, in terms of war heroism followed by a lightning political career as a Republican? (Bonus if he can be elected President 1892)

6) And, of course, if you have other thoughts, I'm open to them as well :D
