History claims that Lincoln relinquished his power after the war... but do we know this for a fact? Do we have it documented that he relinquished his war powers and restored the Republic?

Or is it possible he refused to relinquish? And that the white hats in his admin knew what needed to be done, but that there was only one way to restore the Republic and that was to remove the man who had violated the hell out of it...

Booth's motives come off as awfully convenient and considering there were no good guys in the Civil War aside from the soldiers one must wonder with how easy it would be to spread a narrative and change what happened...

This is just speculation. I have not studied it intently, but it seems the optimal time to remove the "Great Liberator" would have been before the war ended forcing the Union into complete chaos not afterwards when defeat was solid and there wasn't going to be a re-war...

EDIT: A lot of people seem to still believe the Lincoln Good narrative...
