It very well may have been dumb and the guy who did it may not have been authorized by a court of law and I am not stating an opinion on the process.
I do, however, think it takes a bit of stretch of the imagination to believe that he ultimately would have handled reconstruction much differently than the invasion.

Personally, I think killing Lincoln was one of the dumber things a

stayed alive. However one feels about the man, though, for one person
[or a small group of people] to take it on themselves to be judge,
jury and executioner is hardly admirable. It's anarchy and, quite
frankly, murder. Where was his trial? His jury, his legally
constituted judge? The charges against him and his right to defend
himself? That's nothing to be proud of, IMO.
