The correct answer is: O President Lincoln was assassinated before he was able to persuade Congress.

Lincoln's assassination in April 1865 cut short his efforts to implement his Reconstruction plan, which aimed for a lenient approach to reintegrating the Southern states. Following his death, Congress, particularly under the leadership of radical Republicans, took a different and more stringent approach to Reconstruction.
