Lincoln's death had a significant impact on Reconstruction. His assassination led to a more lenient and forgiving approach towards the formerly rebellious states, as his Strict 10% Plan was replaced with a less strict policy. Additionally, without Lincoln's guidance, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was passed without his influence. However, the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was not reversed despite his death.
The main goal of Reconstruction in the United States was to bring the South back into the Union.
After the Civil War, the South faced significant economic challenges, as much of their infrastructure and economy had been destroyed during the conflict. They also had to deal with political changes, as they transitioned from a system based on slavery to one where African Americans were granted citizenship and voting rights. Social issues arose due to the shift in power dynamics and cultural pride and identity were deeply impacted as the once powerful Confederate states had to reconcile with defeat. Additionally, Reconstruction policies aimed to bring the South back into the Union and rebuild the region, which posed unique challenges for Southern states that the North did not have to face to the same extent.
