Rule #48 of the Presidency: People respect a martyr a heckuva lot more than a survivor. If it weren't for Booth Lincoln's legacy might have been too far caught up in the politics of the time to be idolized like he is now.

A good chunk (but far from the sole contributor) of the Apollo program's survival was based on presidents and Congress not wanting to dishonor the legacy of JFK, which the nation would have recognized as shameful.


As a side note it's amazing how many people's plans to make the world 'better' inadvertently make it worse in some areas.
Impeaching Lincoln is likely, and his poor health would likely come into play within a few years after the war.
Kennedy, would almost certainly have a negative reception(and might have lost 1964), and his own poor health would probably take him by the mid 80's.
