Nothing in the 14th punished former confederate soldiers. The 14th is about due process and has been used to ensure people know their rights when arrested (Miranda decision) and prevents citizens from illegally deprived of life, liberty or property. It also addresses equal protection under law to all citizens and limits the actions of state and local officials.
Three key provisions designed to punish former Confederates after the Civil War included the Reconstruction Acts, which imposed military governance in the South; the Black Codes, which restricted the rights of newly freed African Americans and reinforced white supremacy; and the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, but also aimed to limit the political power of former Confederate leaders by denying them office. These measures sought to reshape Southern society and ensure civil rights for freedmen while holding former Confederates accountable for their roles in the rebellion.

The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments of the US Constitution.
Stevens' policy, primarily through the Reconstruction Acts, aimed to punish the South by imposing military rule and requiring Southern states to draft new constitutions that guaranteed civil rights for freed slaves. This included the requirement for states to ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law. Additionally, Southern states faced restrictions on their political power and were often forced to allow African Americans to participate in the political process, undermining the pre-war social order. Overall, these measures were intended to prevent former Confederates from regaining power and to ensure the rights of newly freed individuals.
