Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the "steps" to answer your question. Without the "steps" we cannot recommend any of them because they are not attached.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

At the end of the Civil War, the southern states had to become part of the United States again. The steps I would recommend if I were in charge of creating a United country would be the following.

First, the sincere oath 50% of the citizens of those southern states' citizens. Not only an oath but a written commitment.

Let's remember that President Abraham Lincoln supported the Ten Percent Plan to readmit former Confederate states to the Union. What Lincoln wanted was to quickly heal the wounds of the Civil War as quickly as possible."

Then, the second step would have been the commitment of the state Congresses to support the rights of the former slaves, stated in their legislations.

That was it for me. I would also have to explain to Radical Republicans in Congress the reason why there were no more severe punishments to the southern states in order to have a quick Reconstruction.
