The Civil War caused a huge divide in American politics. A lot of buildings got burned down and people were arguing about the McClellan and Lincoln debate. The Confederate States from the South that left the U.S. created their own form of government, where they applied their own rules, and ignored the Unions requested. Lincoln wanted there to be peace within the states as well as for the war to be over. All he wants to do is make people happy and take care of the soldiers who fought in the war.

2.     Both the North and the South had a lot of expenses after the war. In the North it totaled about 3,366 million dollars, and in the South, it totaled about 3,286 million dollars. So therefore, the North spent about 80 million dollars more than the South.  The Union spent way more on government expenditures and the loss of the human capital than the Confederates did.  The amount of soldiers and people lost cost much more in the North, most likely because they had more soldiers than the South leaving them having to pay more. In fact, more Americans died in the Civil War, than in all other wars in U.S. history.
