The main goal of President Lincoln's Reconstruction plan was to help the nation heal and move past the war quickly.

Reconstruction was a period of American history that lasted from 1865 to 1877. It put an end to the remnants of Confederate nationalism and slavery, making the new slaves free citizens with civil rights guaranteed by three new constitutional amendments. Two visions of the memory of the civil war appeared during Reconstruction: the vision of reconciliation, which was rooted in coping with death and the devastation of war had brought; and the vision of emancipation, which sought full freedom, citizenship and constitutional equality for African Americans.

The Reconstruction addressed how the eleven rebel secessionist states in the south would recover what the Constitution calls a "republican form of government," and be resettled in Congress; and constitutional and legal status of freed slaves, especially their civil rights and if they should be given the right to vote.
