lol the truth was Lincoln wanted only 1% for the south to pay for reconstruction. Everyone in Congress said the south needed to be punished so they bump it up to 50%. Because total war had destroyed the economy of the south. The south was in ruins.

Also, did you know Lincoln was the only President to have presided over a a mass execution? He personally hand picked 39 Sioux warriors to be hung so he could carry the vote in that state. Nice guy huh

Hey do you got a link the to that site you got the information from on hanging 39 Sioux warriors. I know that Lincoln isn't the man most Americans give him credit for. Lincoln had messed up a lot. John Wilkes Booth assassination made the guy a hero, when he was a very unpopular with both the North and the South.  Plus he got depressed a lot, so he's not that strong-minded man we think he is.

I got that from page 31 of the book titled: The South Was Right ! by James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy

That book is full of great info regarding old Abe

Lincoln might have claimed he wanted to treat the South nicely yet he did the opposite. Reconstruction was another word for rape.
