how do you think Southerners would have reacted to reconstruction if Lincolns plan had been followed?

it is basically an opinion answer. there is no wrong answer per se but Lincoln's plan was more moderate. His biggest desire was to re-unite the country, not to punish them. they probably would have been more ok with what the Radical Republicans wanted which was to punish the South.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
