I just recently read that in 1861, when Andrew Johnson was taking a stop from his train ride from Washington back to Tennessee, in Virginia he was mobbed by a gang of Democrat-supporting citizens who said they were going to hang him, but they were dissuaded when someone told them he was going to be hanged in Tennessee, his home state, and said that it was the Tennesseans' right to hang him. Obviously, that did not happen.
What would have happened if he was killed before the Civil War? How does this screw over Reconstruction, if the American Civil War happens as it does OTL? Are there any major ramifications to the War?
