With Abraham Lincoln dead, and the North bent almost on revenge, the Southern States were in deep trouble. The Reconstruction policies, was handled very poorly. Since most of the South was ruined, it stayed ruined. Even by 1900, the South's economy was still below its production in 1861.

False. After the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln favored a more lenient approach toward the Southern states, advocating for reconciliation and healing rather than punishment.
