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.
The southern states threatened to leave the Union because of antislavery talks.
The North was called the Union because it represented those states that remained in "union" together as the Unites States, and because it was fighting to preserve that union by keeping the rebellious Southern states from leaving it.

President Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, known as the Ten Percent Plan, aimed to reintegrate Southern states into the Union as quickly as possible. It stipulated that a Southern state could rejoin the Union if 10% of its voters took an oath of allegiance to the Union. This lenient approach was designed to promote healing and reconciliation rather than punishment, reflecting Lincoln's belief in a swift restoration of the Union. However, this plan faced opposition and was ultimately not fully implemented before his assassination in 1865.

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. His plan, known as the Ten Percent Plan, aimed to reintegrate Southern states into the Union with minimal penalties, provided that a small percentage of voters in those states swore allegiance to the Union. Lincoln believed that a harsh approach would hinder national unity and recovery.
