The northern people wanted the south to be reconstructed and returned to the Union as soon as possible, for the most part. But many wanted to see the south suffer as much as possible. The south was destroyed, and many innocent people were left destitute. Wiser heads prevailed in Washington, because the north knew that dealing too harshly with the defeated south could cause another war in less than a generation, and the country may be destroyed this time.
