Yep, I'm afraid that, had Booth failed, President Lincoln would have had a generally disappointing second term. But I still think there would have been some federal oversight of Reconstruction. Doubtful that foreign investors would have put much into the South -- they certainly didn't lift a finger to help during the war, no reason to think they'd come in afterward.
