After the Civil War, the country was still enormously separated in light of the fact that the South had been crushed physically and profoundly. Other than the pulverization of the land, homes, and urban communities, no confederate officers were permitted internment in Arlington Cemetery, and a large portion of their bodies were lost to their families. Carpetbaggers, entrepreneurs from the north, and villains cheated individuals out of their property, misused poor people, unskilled, and innocent previous slaves, giving them bogus guarantees of "forty sections of land and a donkey" and controlling them for their own particular political purposes.
After the Civil War, the nation was still greatly divided because the south had been devastated spiritually and physically, besides the destruction of the land, cities, and homes no confederate soldiers were allowed burial in Arlington Cemetery.
