Why did the south need to be reconstructed after the Civil War?

There were many reasons, the main one being the south was DESTROYED. They had no money (Confederate money was worthless b/c it was backed by cotton which was destroyed). During Sherman's March to the Sea, the Union armies swept through the south, destroying everything they encountered. Also, the railroads were different gauges (meaning the tracks were farther apart in the North than the South). The small southern tracks were torn up and replaced with new ones so the country could be reunited.
