The Senate either convicts and removes, or acquits. The House impeaches.The real question is why would a Republican dominated Senate impeach Lincoln?
Johnson is VP, and it's 1867, after the Democrats took the House in '66.I mean what year is it, is Johnson the Veep or is it Hamlin? Or somebody else?
The South outmaneuvered them at Atlanta/Peachtree Creek; the south also enlisted freed slaves to overcome the manpower gap.I think it depends on how/why the North lost.

So the North was simply outgeneraled? In that case, I agree with David T. I think you would need a double POD of Grant dying early in the war, maybe at Shiloh? And Stonewall Jackson not dying at Chancellorsville. In any case, I see Lincoln losing the election, as opposed to being impeached.
In my timeline, Jackson, Stuart, and Cleburne all survived. I timed the attack on Atlanta so that it was happening at the election so that the northern public would more likely vote for him.
