Why did Congress refuse to sit representatives from Southern states after the Civil War?
Congress refused to seat representatives from Southern states after the Civil War primarily due to concerns over their commitment to the Union and the potential for undermining Reconstruction efforts. Many lawmakers believed that the Southern states had not fully repudiated the Confederacy and needed to demonstrate loyalty to the Union before being allowed back into Congress. Additionally, there was fear that these representatives would support policies that were counter to the rights and interests of newly freed African Americans. This led to a lengthy period of conflict and negotiation over the terms of Southern reintegration.
