      That's what a war is Losing a war has to have consequences Otherwise, you didn't actually win the war, and that means, in fact, that the war didn't actually end

      This argument, prior to 1918 and really 1945 would have been considered unconscionable. Peace almost always came with amnesty in order to ensure that you actually got peace! This moderate view makes war less savage.

      This is nonsense By the standards of any civil war, either ancient or modern, the end of the American Civil War was ABSURDLY lenient to the Confederates At the very least, it was normal to expect the actual leaders of a rebel government to be hanged for treason

      Lincoln argued for "charity for all," yes. Hundreds of thousands had died. Americans wanted to go back to being one people. The lust for vengeance just wasn't there on a mass scale.

      Also, “Americans wanted to go back to being one people” is interesting phrasing when the war itself was because there was a distinct group of Americans who were not accepted as a part of the people. And you exclude them even when talking about the post-war!

      People always talk about this shit like Black Americans just don't exist so they can see the withdrawal of the occupying forces from the South and the collapse of Reconstruction as "return to normalcy" and not a great betrayal

      As Lincoln himself pointed out: Southerns worshipped the same God, spoke the same lanugage, and had fought in the Revolution. He saw the war as a tragedy and as divine punishment on the South AND the North. He resisted taking vengeance. That was a better, more humane view.

      You're being very selective in what you quote of his Second Inauguralpic.twitter.com/LXlDxacron

      Lincoln said the war was a punishment given to both sides. He does not argue the North is wholly on the side of righteousness. Hence is humility and charity toward the South. "The almighty has his own purposes."

      If he actually thought the war was purely a tragedy he could've just stopped fighting it The Second Inaugural was in part a justification of refusing to do so
