Wartime politics significantly shaped both the Confederate and Union governments, as leaders faced the dual challenges of military strategy and domestic support. In the Union, President Abraham Lincoln expanded executive power, implemented the draft, and used wartime measures to suppress dissent, aiming to maintain public morale and support for the war effort. Conversely, the Confederate government struggled with states' rights issues, leading to tensions between central authority and state interests, which hampered their ability to effectively mobilize resources. Both governments had to navigate the complexities of sustaining public support while managing the realities of prolonged conflict.
The process of rebuilding the society and governments of the Southern states after the Civil War, known as Reconstruction, involved several key steps. It began with the federal government's efforts to reintegrate the Southern states into the Union, which included the implementation of the Reconstruction Acts that required states to draft new constitutions guaranteeing civil rights for freed slaves. This era also saw the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau to assist formerly enslaved individuals and the introduction of military oversight in some regions to maintain order. Ultimately, Reconstruction faced significant resistance and led to the eventual withdrawal of federal troops, resulting in the rise of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans.

State and local governments serve as a research lab for national policy. If a state government creates a good policy, the federal government will often use that as a model for the national system. For example, the Federal Government used the Massachusetts model for health care to draft the new health care bill.
