President Lincoln was unable to persuade Congress to accept his Reconstruction plan primarily because he was assassinated before he could fully advocate for it and build the necessary support. His assassination in April 1865 left a power vacuum and led to a shift in leadership and priorities within Congress, making it difficult for his plan to be implemented as intended. Therefore, the most accurate answer is:
**President Lincoln was assassinated before he was able to persuade Congress.**
**President Lincoln was assassinated before he was able to persuade Congress.**
