Leading A Union Away From War

Reconstruction in the South was led by the president himself, Abraham Lincoln. Although, many people strongly disagreed with his plan on amnesty,or forgiveness of The South. Many people of The North & The South alike we're angered by this decision. Even I disagree with the policy that was put into the place. The members of the Confederacy had committed the high crime of treason and we're pardoned for that crime. Even though they had killed thousands of Union soldiers during the war. Also, even though not all southerners had committed this treason and we're not a part of the Confederacy, they we're forced to take a loath of loyalty. This was not fair to the Union families who had lost family members in the bloody battles and this was not fair to the Southerns who had nothing to do with the war itself.
