Congress should have the right to take measures for reconstruction. Former presidents have been known to make some radical decisions, and since more people are involved with congress's decisions, more ideas will be present and less flaws will arise. States should not be forced into the union, because that will result in rebellion, and possibly a relapse of secession. Either a monitary fee or some form of work to be paid as a sign of allegiance would be a definite action to be taken with the Confederate states, because their trust is at a cost and is not to be considered a free will offering. Along with this, laws that should be heavily enforced would have to be black rights, in all areas of the United States, because the main focus was shifted towards the slavery issue and the immoral values it upheld. If people are to be found in violation of these laws (in violation of black rights), they should be punished according to the law. Those enforcing these laws should be impartial, and a test should be put into place to secure this unbiased official. With putting aside the probability of this, it is an idea that would help lay down the law and get all of society used to compliance and furthermore, paving a path to a Reconstruction of morals, rights, and the United States as a whole.
