In all honesty they should had hung all the Confederate political, economical and military leadership. And the federal govt should have occupied the South for 100 years.

Just got down reading American Civil War - Wikipedia and it just that the Union leaders just decided to either completely pardon them or imprisoned them for a few years except the manager who ran Andersonville Prison. That's insane that you went against the government and be responsible for the death of 1 million plus people and preserve the institution of slavery and just walk away free.

If I was an Union leader I would be to those traitors.

Lincoln was worried it would continue insurrection and wanted the losers to be still seen as American's. He also probably needed to appease southern politicians

Black ppl were too busy stunting on them and starting businesses and finding lost family due to slavery ending to be bothered.
The south wasnt even recognized as part of the country and as the southern states slowly rejoined law was in effect and black men filled up congress and state and local offices with the quickness
