*The carriage breaks down and they have to go another day
*Grant accepts the invitation and goes with the Lincolns
* Booth gets drunk and fails to kill Lincoln
* Lincoln leans forward before Booth shots him
* Booth is caught by Rathbone before he kills Lincoln
* Johnson is assassinated as well
* Steward is assassinated

How would these PODs affect the US? If Lincoln survives, what happens next? If booth misses his chance, does he try again?
 
The POD about Lincoln leaning forward before Booth shoots him, has actually been turned into a trilogy of books by Brian Boyington. It's called manifest Destiny.
 
What if Booth gets caught and when on the big stage (trial) he reveals the grand conspiracy of the Confederacy?

If he is executed how long does Booth spend in prison?
 
Lincoln leans forward and Booth misses. Abe reacts and being a wrestler in his youth body slams JW on to the stage breaking his back. The house gives Abe a standing ovation. Lincoln assassination PODs are a potentially deep mine of AH scenarios.
