Ever since the war ended and african americans have earned their freedom the process of restoring the war-torn nation.Lincoln created an agreement to forgive all confederates who didn't participate in the war and have all generals andpeople who worked in the confederacy army to stay out of the union. The Government disagreed with this and thought thatThe punishment was too light so they rejected Lincolns agreement and made up their own. All people who vowed to respect the rights of the newly freed people and give up slavery would rejoin the union. Because of the rapid changed being made,a former confederate assassinated our President Lincoln. Andrew Johnson became President and the black people were given 40 acres of land and a mule per family to live upon.
