Immediately following the 2nd Inaugural, he met with the cabinet, congressional leaders, and the top brass of the military, to outline an easy path to welcome the South back into the Union.
Lincoln said that he acted to preserve the Union. Although he later decided to free the slaves in the South, it was not his stated motive for seeking to disband the Confederacy.Restore the Union.
The Civil War came to a conclusion in the month of April, 1865. President Lincoln had desired this peace; this reunion of the nation was his goal during the last four years as president. His plans insured for a peaceful reinstatement of all Confederate states into the Union, and that animosity would not exist. However, his plan would be stopped by John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln a few days after the Confederate surrender. Lincoln's plan, when compared to Andrew Johnson, and the Radical Republican's plans, was the best way to reintroduce the Confederate states. Lincoln's plans consisted of resolutions that guaranteed peace between the Southern states, economic reconstruction for the South, and fair treatment of the recently freed African Americans. Hope this helped! :]
President Lincoln's main goal was to preserve and restore the Union, which was his central sworn duty as President. Although he also wished very much to see the end of slavery, he only pursued that goal when it aligned with the one of restoring the Union.

After the war the Southern States enacted black codes as a way to restore the pre-emancipation system of the South. President Johnson also granted pardons to former Confederate soldiers, who then began to gain political power once returning home. Reconstruction was enacted to prevent the Southern States from gaining more political power and to ensure that slavery did not reoccur. Congress also passed more stringent requirements for states seeking readmission.

President Abraham Lincoln rejected the Wade-Davis Bill in 1864 primarily because he believed it was too harsh and punitive towards the Southern states. The bill proposed stricter requirements for Southern states to rejoin the Union, including a majority of white male citizens to take an oath of allegiance, which Lincoln felt would hinder reconciliation and prolong the Civil War. He favored a more lenient approach, as exemplified by his Ten Percent Plan, which aimed to promote unity and restore the Union more swiftly. Lincoln's rejection highlighted his belief in a more conciliatory strategy for post-war reconstruction.
his original main goal was the restore the union. he freed the slaves in about the middle of the war.
Abraham Lincoln's approach to the South after the Civil War emphasized reconciliation and healing rather than a complete restoration of states' rights. He proposed a lenient plan for Reconstruction, aiming to reintegrate Southern states quickly into the Union while encouraging loyalty to the federal government. However, the specifics of states' rights were complex and contentious, and Lincoln's assassination in 1865 left many of his plans unfulfilled and led to more stringent measures during Reconstruction.
