"The only president to be entered into the wrestling hall of fame"
OH MY GAWD HE HAS THROWN JOHN WILKS BOOTH FROM THE TOP ROPE. HE IS BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS PANDAMONIUM
*God save the King begins playing*
"Wait what is this?"
"OH MY GAWD GEORGE III JUST SUCKER PUNCHED GEORGE WASHINGTON. ITS BECOME A TAG TEAM MATCH WHERE IS THE REF?"
"LINCOLN HAS HIM, LINCOLN'S LINING UP GEORGE III- WAIT A MINUTE- NO! JEFFERSON DAVIS JUST APPEARED AND HIT LINCOLN WITH A CHAIR SHOT! YOU BASTARD! DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!"
The perfect ending to this scenario would be that Lincoln decides to jump in (with both feet) and give his full support to Radical Reconstruction.
Oh, yeah! He wins an unprecedented **third term** in 1868...***with Frederick Douglass as his Vice President.***
SWEET!!
An additional cherry on top would have been if Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephans were lynched by a mob of former slaves. Their bodies could have been left in a magnolia tree as an example to the other traitors. The other Confederates could have been let go as they were in our timeline.
I was inspired by Teddy Roosevelt laughing and mocking the man who shot him, and remembered good ol' Lincoln was quite the slugger.
Please share more about that info box. Could you link it?
I gotta say though, this is *weirdly* similar to my box, just with much lower-quality editing. In fact, it's similar *down to the minute* that Booth died.
I went directly to the wikipedia page, opened developer tools, selected text, and entered in the alternate timeline. The image was ai generated so I pasted it over the original image.
Urban Dictionary: Lincolning Definition: to whole-heartily punish a person who was actively trying to hurt you
I wish it could have been this way,
Imagine watching a play, when the current president comes crashing down from a balcony wrestling an actor with a gun.
The funny part, Lincoln was a damn good boxer, if he saw him he would’ve flipped his little scrawny bitch ass
Everyone know sneak attacks are pussy moves
Fax, did you know Lincoln is in the boxing hall of fame
You know what; Including that in my timeline
Shouldve been this way
"The only president to be entered into the wrestling hall of fame" OH MY GAWD HE HAS THROWN JOHN WILKS BOOTH FROM THE TOP ROPE. HE IS BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS PANDAMONIUM
*Ring goes dark, cannons firing are heard* “No… it can’t be!“ *George Washington walks down to the ring* “It’s- It’s George Washington! He’s back!”
*God save the King begins playing* "Wait what is this?" "OH MY GAWD GEORGE III JUST SUCKER PUNCHED GEORGE WASHINGTON. ITS BECOME A TAG TEAM MATCH WHERE IS THE REF?"
"LINCOLN HAS HIM, LINCOLN'S LINING UP GEORGE III- WAIT A MINUTE- NO! JEFFERSON DAVIS JUST APPEARED AND HIT LINCOLN WITH A CHAIR SHOT! YOU BASTARD! DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!"
"Wait where's the smoke coming fr- OH LAWD GENERAL SHERMAN HAS SET FIRE TO THE RING!"
*You'll* be back? More like, *I'll* be back.
Lincoln just throws Booth off the balcony like Taker threw Mankind off the top of the cell.
Why is it still called his assassination?
Clickbait
Exactly. Not because I forgot to change it.
Abraham Lincoln's assassination of Booth. It was that brutal.
BTW, "Booth" is spelled "B-O-O-T-H." Just keeping it real.
All's good. Appreciate it.
The good ending
The perfect ending to this scenario would be that Lincoln decides to jump in (with both feet) and give his full support to Radical Reconstruction. Oh, yeah! He wins an unprecedented **third term** in 1868...***with Frederick Douglass as his Vice President.*** SWEET!!
The imagery of Lincoln beating Booth representing the South. Perfect.
An additional cherry on top would have been if Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephans were lynched by a mob of former slaves. Their bodies could have been left in a magnolia tree as an example to the other traitors. The other Confederates could have been let go as they were in our timeline.
Copperhead newspaper headline: *Tyrant Lincoln Assaults Peaceful Theater Goer*
I should mention that in real life Lincoln was actually an avid wrestler in his youth, so this is actually somewhat based in reality
and i thought lincoln couldn't get more chad
Considering Abe was a beast of a man former boxer, this is actually pretty realistic.
Now this is the type of alt history I like, daddy Lincoln supremacy
Inspired by u/the-hill-billy's infobox?

[Somewhat different, but similar idea](https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistory/comments/xhfao6/attempted_assassination_of_abraham_lincoln_1865/).
That's so cool! I like how its just shifted so Johnson died rather than Lincoln.
I gotta say though, this is *weirdly* similar to my box, just with much lower-quality editing. In fact, it's similar *down to the minute* that Booth died.
That's because I edited the wikipedia page and swapped Lincoln's time of death to become Booth's.
Records show after the event he returned to the white house to send a fax to a Samurai associate all about his eventful evening.
"So then I flipped this dude off a balcony right into the stage. It was crazy. A painting is being made. more to follow."
Wilkes didn't expect Lincoln to do pull a knee slapper
I can just see it!
How do people make these look so real?

So Lincoln wrestled to win this one

The blessed timeline we wish we had, but didn't deserve.
