Mafia III has three very distinct endings. The choice has to be made after you finish the last mission: Kill Sal Marcano.
Attention - After you see the ending you've chosen (plus end credits) you will get back to the main menu. You can resume the game then, and you will start in the place you were in before the choice. Use this opportunity to see the other endings or to continue any remaining side activities (optional missions, secrets, etc.)
Ending 1 - Lincoln leaves New Bordeaux
If you choose ending one, you'll have to reach the North-West corner of the map. The cutscene will tell you that during Lincoln's absence, Cassandra took over New Bordeaux (that is, if she's still alive - if she had betrayed you, you shot her)
Ending 2 - Lincoln stays and rules New Bordeaux with underbosses
Get back to the mansion in the Bayou, where you used to assign tasks to your associates. During the meeting, hold the contextual button (on PC by default - Q) to rule New Bordeaux together. The cutscene will tell you that Lincoln's influence slowly grew outside the city.
Ending 3 - Lincoln stays and rules New Bordeaux alone
Get back to the mansion in the Bayou, where you used to assign tasks to your associates. During the meeting hold the contextual key to kill your associates (on PC by default - R) to kill your associates. Exit the mansion and enter your car. It will explode - from a cutscene you will learn that it was Father James who planted the bomb.
Attention - If any of the underbosses had been killed during the game, they will not be there during the final meeting, obviously. This will not change the endings in any way.
