This is an excellent article by Martha Hodes, excerpted from her also excellent book Mourning Lincoln.

Professor Hodes was at 9/11, helping out, and she observed how people reacted to those terrible events. She decided she wanted to do a book about Lincoln's death, to see how people reacted as that was a catastrophic event for those times, whether you loved, supported or hated him.
