Which of the following choices best represent both President Abraham Lincoln and President Andrew Johnson's main goals for
Reconstruction?
Select one:
O
force the Southern States to pay reparations to the Federal Government
O
punish the South for starting the Civil War
allow the Southern States to reenter the nation as quickly as possible
establish the Republican Party as the only political party in the South

Allow the Southern States to re-enter as quickly as possible

Explanation:

Lincoln's main goal throughout the entire civil war was to reunify the country. He had a 10 point plan for this that included pledging alligence to the Union, which he did not get to implement due to his death following the war. Johnson was uninterested in making the south pay any restitution as a southerner himself, he let the south reenter as quickly as he could and removed military presence in the former confederate territories.
