After the Civil War, the Union did not seek revenge on the Southern states, but rather focused on Reconstruction, which aimed to rebuild the South and integrate formerly enslaved people into society. However, there were tensions and punitive measures, particularly during the early years of Reconstruction, as the federal government sought to enforce civil rights and prevent former Confederates from regaining power. The approach was more about rebuilding the nation and addressing the injustices of slavery than outright revenge. Ultimately, the long-term consequences of the war and Reconstruction policies created lasting divisions and resentments that persisted for generations.
