After the Civil War, the Confederates faced various forms of punishment, primarily through the Reconstruction era policies imposed by the federal government. Many Confederate leaders were barred from holding public office, and some were imprisoned or fined. The South also experienced significant economic hardship due to the destruction from the war and the loss of slave labor. The Reconstruction Act aimed to reshape Southern society, enforcing civil rights for freed slaves and restructuring state governments, which were met with resistance from many in the South.
