When Lincoln was first elected president, he hoped to prevent war by allowing slavery in the United States. As time went on, he saw the purpose of the war as putting an end to slavery. Once the Civil War was over, President Lincoln did not intend to punish the South. He felt everyone had suffered enough. He wanted to help the South, and the whole country, rebuild. The process of rebuilding the country following the Civil War was called Reconstruction. The official surrender by General Lee to General Grant occurred at Appomattox Court House, and the terms were generous to the South. The terms of surrender said that the Southern soldiers could go home and would not be prosecuted for treason. It also said that they must surrender their guns, but could keep their horses. Officers were allowed to keep their sidearms. In order to make the achievements of the war permanent, three amendments were added to the U.S. Constitution.

17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)
The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect two senators to 6-year terms. Late in the 19th century, some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.
One Progressive response to these concerns was the "Oregon system," which utilized a state primary election to identify the voters’ choice for Senator while pledging all candidates for the state legislature to honor the primary’s result. Over half of the states adopted the "Oregon system," but the 1912 Senate investigation of bribery and corruption in the election of Illinois Senator William Lorimer indicated that only a constitutional amendment mandating the direct election of Senators by a state’s citizenry would allay public demands for reform.
When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. This would be done by vesting complete control of Senate elections in state governments. A substitute amendment by Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas provided for the direct election of Senators without the "race rider." It was adopted by the Senate on a close vote before the proposed constitutional amendment itself passed the Senate. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on April 8, 1913, the resolution became the 17th amendment.
