A or C it’s been a while since I seen this question
Answer:
Different people and president Lincoln himself wanted to “mend” or ”reconstruct” the Union after the Civil War.
Explanation:
Reconstruction is the process of rebuilding the United States especially the Southern States where the physical destruction was tremendous after the Civil war.
President Lincoln felt that the Southern states should be treated with leniency.
He felt that the Southern states had never truly left the Union.
He wanted to mend the nation's wound rapidly and did not want to punish the South. but as you know sadly, Lincoln was assassinated before reconstruction.
There were fewer people at that time and even though they had their religion and myths there were still a lot of unanswered question that people like philosophers would try to find answered for.
