Reconstruction


 * Reconstruction**

Reconstruction was the time period that followed after the Civil War. The South had been destroyed and the relations between the North and South were extremely strained. After years of carnage the country needed to be brought back together. Many in the North wanted revenge on the South, but Lincoln realized that revenge would only further split the divided nation and that some sort of compromise would be needed for the country to come back together as one.
