What if Abraham Lincoln lived till 1901? not just what might he do with his second term, which has been gone over a lot, but what might he do with a long post-Presidency?
Some early film footage of abe lincoln?
I personally doubt it. There's very little footage of people who were actually president around the turn of the century (McKinley and Cleveland), or of Queen Victoria. Lincoln probably wouldn't have attended many occasions where a cine camera was present, and I don't see anyone seeing the need to film a man of possibly limited function in his 80s or 90s who used to be president so that future generations can see him. But it's not impossible.
World's Columbian Exposition maybe? its a matter of how health and active Lincoln would be
Do we even have footage of the World's Columbian Exposition OTL? If there's any chance he could become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court then we might get footage of him at an inauguration. But despite his legal background, surely it's a very slim chance? Filming him because "he used to be president" isn't the sort of thing that used to happen in those days.
For some reason I have this idea in my head whenever this gets brought up that Lincoln becomes the governor of Washington state.
Well, I meant the territory, I just said state because of habit and to differentiate from DC.As a resident of Washington, I think that would have been pretty cool. Unfortunately, Washington didn't become a state until 1889 when Lincoln would have been about 80 years old, making him very very healthy, or a somewhat short-term Governor.
I think the plan was to send them to Central America, not Africa. Im pretty sure it was only for Delaware though.Would Lincoln go full out on his plan to deport the blacks back to Africa or where ever he could?

Cool idea, I can't imagine him wanting to, but maybe he'd accept out of duty if Grant nominated him?
