After the surrender of the Confederacy at Appomattox Court House, the main priority of the U.S. was to reunify the nation and rebuild the South. This involved addressing the political, social, and economic challenges of Reconstruction, including integrating formerly enslaved individuals into society and ensuring their rights. Additionally, there was a focus on restoring the Southern states to the Union and determining the terms of their reintegration. The broader goal was to foster national healing and prevent further conflict.
