Why do you think Lincoln refused to offer amnesty to Confederate leaders?

By holding leaders responsible for their roles in the rebellion, he aimed to reinforce the principles of democracy and discourage future insurrections. Additionally, Lincoln sought to establish a clear distinction between loyalty to the Union and betrayal, which would help solidify the political and moral foundation of Reconstruction.
